First Oil Painting off the Easel

This year marks the beginning of painting with oils. It's only been some 20 years in coming. "In the Distance, the Calming Hum of Bees" has found it's way from digital to paint. Which is in some ways is funny, given my thesis was researching Paintbrush to Pixel, here I find myself exploring the wonders of the timeless medium. The reason this painting came about, is largely due to a good cause, which made for a heart felt drive to push myself beyond being self conscious of my art and create for a much needed cause, the building and construction of a home for under privileged children  in Nilakottai, India. All proceeds made through art sales as well as ticket sales will go directly towards the new children s home.
