Dear Reader, On May 20, 2003, I began to make major changes in this section of the web site. This is
in response to hundreds of Email messages I received from you asking me to expand my presentations
and make them more of an actual oil painting lesson. "Add more comments, more details."

Online Art Lessons. Oil Painting step by step.

This page is now an expression of this change, I will take more pictures as I work and I will include more information
about why I'm doing something within the painting, how I mix colors, etc., These pages will be "LIVE" journals of
whatever paintings I am working on right now. Comments from you are welcome. Thank you. Jim Thomas

	Announced on June 08, 2004 A NEW FEATURE!
	The following is an animation that has been created in addition to and from my step by step oil painting presentations, featuring one of these paintings that lends itself to this movie treatment. This is a large Quicktime file (1 MB) so be prepared for download time after making your selection. Thank you, Jim Thomas. Watch this painting grow right before your eyes!
