This was the first oil painting I ever did. It took me years and years and at least three teachers to help me get it this far. Even so, it still needs work. I liked the photo so much that while I was still living in Germany, I traveled to the real windmill, just to see it in person. It was an odd sensation, I had been working on the painting from a photo for so long, it was weird seeing it in person. Sort of like having a dream manifest itself in reality. I hope you like it. It's my favorite of all of my work.
