I still have some materials and tools.
Not too late to try again.

Couple of efforts using thin layers of oil paint. Limited colors, seems to work for me.

Oil painting on 9 by 12 inch paper. Sometimes I wonder if artists in the 21st century are missing something by buying all the prepped materials instead of making things themselves.

I still like this ink painting. It's a couple of years old now; but, it seems to be holding up, unlike my other efforts in the studio.

Idea sketch for an art studio/house.
Key points:
Relationship to the ground.
No traditional windows.
Courtyards.
