This piece is 24"x18", and you can see a part of the reference photo in the image below. In the photo there is a shed behind me, so I am instead painting the background using the landscape I see out my studio window. Of course, this is a work in progress and the trees are nowhere near done. Also note that the hand on the viewer's right is still in the rough phase, whereas the hand on the left is mostly finished.

This is great! Is it less time consuming to oil paint as opposed to colored pencil?
Thank you! I thought that oil would go quicker, but actually I spend about the same time - if not more - moving the paint around.
Your right hand (the one that's finished) is amazingly lifelike. I really like it. I have a thing for hands in drawings and paintings. I liked your colored pencil drawings of hands too. You do hands well.
