Hello I’m waiting on others to dry a bit before show and tell later day so here’s me playing with oil paint. She will eventually be a beautiful blue lady kinda… Hopefully lol
Much love

isn’t she already?
Thanks, well she’s blue at least and has an inner beauty, but quite ready yet lol
well at least she can’t be self conscience since she can’t see what she looks like…lol
True, and I don’t think she going to have a head, well she will but it won’t have eyes, she’ll be merged with a second character eventually.
steamy…
Kinda yeah, but it will be gentle at the same time, think of it as a game of twister gone very wrong… Or very right depending the perspective. I’ll introduce reds and purples later once the blues start to set a bit.
cool, if it’s a game of twister will there be dots?
Hehe, maybe…. Lol
i can smell the smoke!
Of my wheels turning
yes!
Big, beautiful breast.
The dot in her midsection is feeling very “maternal”.
She’s going to be in pieces and joined by another figure later. But I don’t want to say much because if it sucks and I never show it again ya know…. I’d rather not suck publicly lol
Blues is my favorite color. I already love this work.
Thank you very much, i have a very clear image of what I want. So it hopefully will be fun when its done
I think this one is really cool!
Thank you very much
Mysterious ~ looks amazing so far Benjamin. Excited to see where you take her.
How lucky are your followers to watch your artwork unfold like this? Your blog is wonderfully unique this way.?!
Thank you ~
Thank you glad you think so. This piece is in oils so it will take some time to finish.
so then, as of late you are using mostly acrylics — and that is why you can work at such incredible pace? I see!
~ hope the day is being kind to you.
Yes, I’ve been able to come up with a mixture of glazes, varnishes and mixing mediums that I use with the acrylics to create virtually the same look as a oils based paints, but it allows me to paint at the pace I like which is vast. I have so many ideas floating in my head that oils are impractical. Unless I want to wait for 3 weeks for one piece to be done and then charge 1k+ dollars for it.
Although I am starting a piece today other than the blue lady that will be in my normal expected style except in oils. I hope your well today. I’m in my way to the doctors fun, then back again tomorrow.
Always
Benjamin
Thanks for the lesson ~ i understand better now… though you are right- I think you have a formula that gives these the same look as oil. Seems there is no real huge advantage to oil then right ~ other than diversity for you … but the fast pace seems where you want to be.
Good luck at the medical appointment ~ i have one tomorrow too but it’s just routine / before my trip. Have had an icky day here to be honest… i know i need to get myself off the sleep meds… i don’t take any meds in day and i think when the night med levels fall out of me – I get almost a withdrawal type reaction – which makes pain levels skyrocket. Meds never seem to be my friend, no matter what the doctors say. You are doing ok with yours now? Hope so…
Namaste
Sorry for your not great day. I’m starting to get adjusted to being back which sucks to be honest. It’s easier to forget about the pd when I’m surrounded by distraction. At home it’s all schedule. Meds,naps, errands, bad sleep and pain. It’s easy to say I’m very tired of this part I my life. But the world keeps spinning and I’ll hold in for dear life.
Namaste

Benjamin, I think I lost my blog. Totally misunderstood what I was getting into. Let’s see what WordPress does. I thought I was moving my wordpress blog to another wordpress blog and not one hosted externally. Anyway, I’m still here. Just blog-less. Will keep you posted. If not, well? Have to learn from my stupid mistake and start over. I don’t even want to read “while horses sleep” anymore… (:
K well make sure you have my email I really really don’t want to lose contact with you.
Always
Benjamin
Love the blues!
Hehe it should be pretty cool when it’s done then I’ll show the piece it’s modeled after and everyone will be surprised.

I am already enchanted by this piece. What spell did you just cast?
This piece I’m hoping will be beautiful. Picasso esc figures will be embracing eventually creating one figure.
