A friend sent me a photo of identical twins sleeping, with a single curl between their heads that seems to bind them together. I recently returned to oil painting and seized the opportunity to practice on an old canvas. I’m pleased with the results, which evoke a charming children’s book illustration vibe.

For the first time in decades, I experimented with oil painting. It proved to be much more challenging than I remembered from my early days as an artist. I appreciate how oil paint allows for easier blending compared to acrylic or watercolor, making it an ideal medium for nude paintings. However, the clean-up process is definitely more complicated.
