Light painting II in oils

Working in oils this week, I am pushing my technique and experimenting with starting with the light image and then working outwards into the dark space. Working with the creamy texture of the oil the blending of colour is very satisfying and is somehow easier to blend the colours avoiding any distinct lines. By working in this order the light source visually sits behind the darkness so you look into the painting rather than the image sitting on top. I need to wait for the paint to dry before I can decide if its giving me the look and feel Im searching for.... maybe this one is going to be the final piece.....?
