No I paint for fun during lock down I had too much time on my hands.
That one was called "Dante's toothache"
Guess the style Is what we call impasto!
I go through tubes of oil paint like I stole it.

I imagine @mhardy6647 goes thru more white/brown paint tubes than you do red paint.:)
If someone put a gun to my head and said "Paint", I'd reply with "go'head and pull the trigger, already!"

This is the Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 'Umbrella Fence'.

During late 1990s - while on a 'trip' from-LA-to-SF - we had started seeing these bright yellow sheets in the rolling hills of central California (I-5) which went on for miles on end.:oops:
Unfortunately, my search only showed Christo's "Running Fence" art to have taken place in the early 1970s (it is said to have been a 24.5mile long, 18foot high stretch of white, billowing nylon curtains).

No! Ours was not a hallucinogenic trip.

Love it, is that just a hobby of yours?
Yes I thought the left side of my brain needed some workout.
Thanks I'm defo noob only paint in oil.
I don't draw or use acrylics.
Only paint when I'm in pain (Lol emoji)
That first one was called "Day off in Hell"
I call the other "Slither of Hope" I painted that one before the Ukrainian war hence why i named it that when the war started.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Luncheon of the Boating Party.
Painted between 1880 and 1881.
Took me a few minutes to absorb that Renoir.
My takes:
*I would have invested in stocks of hat makers.
*Security would have escorted that lady off the premises for the dog-on-dinner-table.
*No one is drinking diet soda and no one is on their smartphones.

The artist made the women appear very friendly and chatty. :D

I worked on that fence and still have my hard hat from that, use it when trimming my Cypress trees. I remember I made $1.35/hr (minimum wage) and was recruited along with many others from UC Berkeley.

But every photo I encountered shows it to be white in color. We clearly remember the one in the 90s to be of vivid (shimmering during sunset) yellow; as with the umbrellas.
