- Your Paintings!
Now here's a thought. Your oil painting tips, your photo's and your stories, right here on the web. You put the work into it, why not brag a bit and show it off!
All artist's have a need to create. But not all artist's have a place to show off their work. Well, here's your chance. Consider here to post your work, tell us about it's creation and if there is a special story behind the subject matter! Come on and join the group!
Not ready to share just yet? No worries, read about what others have done by checking out the links below.
Have you got more than one photo to show? Our software will take several which means you can shoot a few closeups of your work to show.
We really like close-ups of the work, so others can see exactly how you do what you do!
This part of the site has really began to shine, why not shine with it! Give us your oil painting tips and techniques, upload a few pics of your work, and flaunt your stuff!
Some changes are in order!
I would never have thought that we would be closing in on over 250 entries here!
But we have! To make navigating easier, I have decided to move some of
these great paintings to their appropriate section on the site.
My first move has been the some of the still life paintings. If you are looking for yours, click on the link here to head over there.
Have you got a fantastic still life painting to show off? Do the same!
Some of our landscape paintings and portrait paintings have also been relocated and as this page has continued to grow, I will shift some to their appropriate subject matter.
I'm so honored and proud that you have been so kind and brave to show us your work! Please continue to amaze us!
Thank
you so much for your contributions. Do pass on to your friends where
they can find your paintings, both with Facebook comments, hitting that
"like button", or tweeting to your tweeple about your great art! (I've also added the Pinterest button for sharing!)
