Yin Yang

After an intense couple months of acrylic and resin, I decided to play again with oils because I love the viscosity and texture of the medium. Normally I paint with a brush, but I was compelled to practice with a palette knife. The initial experiment resulted in waves (see below), but I had a round canvas that has been pulling me to create a yin yang piece for a couple years now. I didn't want a traditional yin yang so I sketched out a spring motif that made me chuckle. I used a pretty heavy hand for texturing, this piece will probably take several weeks to cure to dryness. But I love the thickness of the paint and the birds make me smile every time it catches my eye!
