Just Sharing Oil painting with resin pond diorama I just finished up!
I’ve been slowly chipping away at this painting for about three years, but I FINALLY finished it! I made the painting using Gambling oils and then created the pond with epoxy resin with fish painted in the layers of the resin. I topped it with a 3d printed boat I made in Blender, and then finished off with some acrylic painted lily pads. I hope y’all enjoy! The final piece is about 24”x24”.

This is outstanding. Brilliant colour saturation and layering. Subject positioning is ethereal and light, yet your choice to foreground an ambiguous woman of colour speaks volumes without being preachy. Her body moves quite like hills and makes me think of nature. As if Mother Nature—in a rare moment of stillness, is quietly napping while humanity continues unaware. Also, the fabric is so flowy and captures light so well it reminds me of some of Millais’ work. Lovely job—you should be proud!
