Beautiful Mess Artistry

WIP oil on canvas board.

Slowly adjusting and editing on my newest piece in its final stages.

Just wanted to share the progress on my latest oil on acrylic mixed media painting. I have applied all the techniques I've learned in the past year and I'm super proud of it. I just want to clean up the words in gold; make them a but crisper, and darken up the cracks in the skull again, but otherwise it's finished!

Almost completed oil on canvas board.

This is the completed floral study from a previous post. It was a struggle to stay on track with painting shapes and shades, not a flower and petals. I found myself fixating on a pedal and would have to snap myself out of it. But all in all, I'm quite happy with the result. I especially love that lower petals and the form of it.
I plan to clean up the edge of the painting and maybe even paint the border in gold. But the flower is finite!
