Oil painting of main house in a vineyard in the south of France in the Alpilles region. The entry drive with maritime pine tree in the foreground and the house in the background. Painting is still in progress. It is called "Mas Alpilles"

Small progress on my painting. I am calling it "Mas Alpilles".
A mas is the local name for farmhouse. In this case it is the main house of a winery/vineyard (colours are not quite right):

One of my first paintings in more than 10 years - a repaint of an older painting. Still ongoing. I put some oils over the oil pastels used for the the sketch.
Still several sessions to go. I only manage 1 hour+ per day, but it's a start...

I decided to do a repaint of an old painting I was not quite satisfied with. I sketched it out in charcoal and oil pastels on top of an old painting covered in red as a background:

And this is the one I am working on: 80 x 60 cm

Another early one I was not satisfied with. Still not satisfied. I like the composition but It's a bit too neat and slick not enough oomph and brush strokes.

INTRODUCTION TO HOW I MAKE MY ART 101:
Hello, throughout today I’m going to be walking through my process of making art. I’m no professional but honestly who gives af anymore. I just hope to inspire someone to try something new and to open up discussion about techniques between peers. #art
