Striking Oil

This painting doesn't exist anymore-I just came in from scrubbing it back off the canvas. It's been about 16 years since I quit painting in oils but someone had brought in an old Bob Ross Joy of Painting kit so I thought I'd give it a try to see if I remembered the techniqe at all. Clearly, it will take practice to get "into it" again...especially since the Liquid white, wasn't (liquid) and the paints were a bit compromised as well. Stll, making the effort was an interesting experience and has me thinking about landscapes again.
