This is the second painting I did of Hog Hill Katie.  I sort of worked on them at the same time up to a point, then finishing the other one first as I liked it better.  But this one was fun also.  I hadn't painted in oils for some time so it was so fun.  I fought it for awhile, due to the slow drying, after using acrylic and watercolor when I have had time to paint.  They dry so fast and I can get something done so much quicker.  When painting time is at a premium, that is a good thing.  This is also a 16x20 oil and is unframed at this time.  When I paint almost the same painting twice, the first one is usually the best.  Guess maybe I lose the interest and excitement on a second try???
