Dipping into the oil paint...

I recently added images to my Painting & Sketch blog of some life studies that I did last week.  Above is a painting of dead roses from back in February.  It is kind of rough and abstract but I like how it looks in the rustic white wooden frame.  I am going to monitor another painting workshop this weekend at The Art Students League and will be working on a 2-day pose, I am hoping to get a more developed piece out of it.
