darktiste - Thanks for your thorough words. A lot of it is a therapeutic exercise. To be able to wind down after work and gain some solace. Also to be able vent and exhaust some frustrations. I understand what you're saying about learning anatomy through paint. But, on the contrary, is it not okay to use the medium you wish to pursue to learn? After all I feel I am getting used to using oils now. I feel I'm developing with it already. However, I only have a limited time to do art. So, it should also be fun. I'm not banking on making a living from this. It's more for fun and self pleasure. So, development and improvement will be a lot slower. I have family and work.
cgmythology - Thank you! I've not really found a style yet as I'm still experimenting. But, I do like things dark and painterly/sketchy.
Thank for your comments folks! It's much appreciated.

Ok here's some progress shots of a painting I'm working on. I'm doing this for someone as they saw some of my work. It's on A2 canvas and is oil paints...still a work in progress.
Oh...I also got me a replica skull for "life" studies. I'm using him for reference here for lighting only. His name is Samael.
