Working with oils is like making mudpies, all slogging up to the elbows and such. I think you hit it right on the nose: the scene and the "feel" of the place will dictate the medium -- wonderful work!Kelly M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07281523503121981821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-81219464691531338062009-08-19T18:53:45.563+01:002009-08-19T18:53:45.563+01:00an interesting post and I agree with you and Jeane...an interesting post and I agree with you and Jeanette - some scenes just have you reaching for one or the other - I'm in love with both media.<br /><br />Love these paintings too - the spots of rain in the water are beautifully done and I love the pattern of the tide in the oil.vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-52348938868794309512009-08-19T12:32:22.145+01:002009-08-19T12:32:22.145+01:00How funny!

The darkness and rain work beautifully and that ebb tide - I can almost hear the water moving over the pebbles.
