These are paintings I did years ago. My family and I had traveled to Ireland and, inspired by the landscape, I began painting small landscapes from photos I took there. The paintings below are either from those photos or grew out of that project.

i love your paintings.. im beginning to paint with oil as well. would like some tips
I’m glad you enjoyed the work. The only tips I have for learning go paint are, if you’re already experienced in other media, I would advise joining a local painting class. If you’re new to art making, I would recommend getting comfortable drawing first.
Good luck,
Bill
