I don't mean to keep posting these, but Avatar said I should move these here. Anyway, here's my "masterpiece," as my wife calls it. It's a scene from the movie "Fellowship of the Rings," where Frodo is looking at Rivendell for the first time. I never liked the orange color grading done in post production for the movie, so I've reproduced this with a fuller spectrum of color. This painting is quite large, so please endulge me posting multiple close-ups. The first picture is the whole thing, in the frame I built. Following after that are close-ups. (And yes, I know I should remove that annoying date from my digital pictures. Maybe I'll take some new ones and repost.)
This "painting" was actually done with oil pastels, a medium I prefer to oil paints, because I can sit on my couch, relax, have a beer, and listen to music while I "paint" (I refuse to call it coloring, even though oil pastels look like big Crayons). The 4'X2.5' painting is actually 8 separate pieces that I glued to a plywood backing, then built the frame out of trim you'd use for a door, and then had a piece of plexiglass cut to fit (oil pastels never dry, they collect dust if you don't cover them).
