My first mini painting :) I learned quite a bit from painting this small. I highly recommend artist do this as part of your growth journey. #minipaintings #atc #oilpaint #wine #art

It’s coming along! Still a long way to go 😅 but loving it. #oilpainting #painting #art #lotr #thehobbit
First pass done! Gotta let it dry, then it’ll be ready for the second round. #nightcrawler #xmen #oilpainting
Nightcrawler, one of my favorite #xmen , is coming along! What do y’all think of this interpretation? #nightcrawler #kurtwagner #oilpainting
My next revival piece is coming alive! Where are all my fellow Nightcrawler fans 😄 #oilpainting #canvas #painting #nightcrawler
My first revival painting 😄 Very happy with how this turned out. The bright colors were intimidating at first, so that was a learning opportunity to say the least.
Portrait commission WIP! I used to think the dry time for Oil would be a hindrance. BUT I realize it works great when you have multiple pieces to work on 😄 Seasoned oil painters are probably like, “yeah duh” lol
Posting a painting I’m not particularly proud of as some have told me that even my “bad paintings” still add value and humanity to my voice as an artist.
GET OFF OF, AND BOYCOTT, THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM “X”. If this isn’t a good enough reason for you, then you’re a F**cking monster and complicit in this material. It will take time, but I am personally unfollowing and unfriending anyone with an X account now.

Second ever oil painting practice WIP. Reference photo by the talented @nationmorin
Everyone should be outraged by this. ESPECIALLY veterans and service members! Despite republicans controlling all three branches of government (which makes this the most nonsensical claim) these organizations are not there to tout political bias.
The sketch phase of a long time commission. I was originally going to complete this as a digital painting. However, I asked the commissioner if they wouldn’t mind waiting a little longer for an oil painting version since I have officially stepped away from Digital Painting.
