A dozen years ago, I dabbled in painting. First I painted on canvas using water-mixable oil paints, because I did not want to clean my brushes with chemicals.

One year I grew birdhouse gourds just for fun. Some of them were fairly big, and once they dried up I could not resist trying 3D painting on them.

Birdhouse Gourd II.
Finally, a smaller one.

The gourds are now used as decoration in our house. Visitors always ask about them, puzzled by their size and shape, and their painted look.

Wow! I love how you say you “dabbled” in painting. From what it seems you were a very great painter and could still make a good money out of it. Some paint for love though, and that is why they paint. Why do you paint? Please check out my art caelidotblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/28/abstract-city/

A lovely set of paintings, don’t shy away from “real oil”. It enhances the deepness of the colors, you can find some examples of my work on my blog to illustrate.

You are so talented. I hope you’re still dabbling in painting. You are a Renaissance man. Love your paintings; love the gourds.

Now I’m beginning to understand where your great skills at composing photographs come from, it’s because you’re also a painter. I hope that you haven’t put down your brushes, as your paintings, both 2D and 3D are very good!
