Old Man by the Sea – Art Print of an Oil Painting. I went through a phase when I was very interested in the concept of painting subjects who are in the act of painting or writing. Just sort of a fun pose to practice. Although I like the end result, I wasn’t actually able to accomplish exactly what I had in mind. Art does have its ups and downs, and sometimes the paint brush just doesn’t obey what your brain commands. But in a way, that’s another fun side of creating art – these detours can create new, unexpected pieces that have their own value beyond what you originally intended.
