painted on block island

Image
this painting was made to b part of a larger pc. painted w/oil stick while i was on block island. ths was the house & view we c from our yard this summer. i liked working with oil sticks, n no bad skin reaction to things this time around. maybe it's something i can explore. tho i do regret not bringing the sticks back to taiwan w/me. now i hv to go hunt it down in stores here. silly me.
