I have so many questions but I’m not sure if I really want the answers…

Ugh. This year’s vaccine knocked me down for a day. Just lucky I guess.

I finished this painting last night. 😊 it’s a bridge over the Clackamas River. I took the reference photo while fishing in Oregon City. #oilpainting #landscape #river #handmade 18”x24”.

The dog got double-dinnered. No wonder why she’s so happy… She’s fucking smiling.

I saw that movie in a theater in 1992. 😊

I continue to fist fight with this one. A jillion corrections, a jillion more to make. Still in it. #wip #oilpaint #skull #dnd #darkart #undead #paintinginprogress

If you’re an art channel who uses ai to create YouTube thumbnails, you’re a fucking idiot.

Here’s a personal project I’ve been working on. For me. I wanted to put a larger (at least for me) landscape up somewhere in my house. I took the reference photo by a bridge that crosses the Clackamas (I posted it a month ago). 18x24” #wip #oillandscape #river #clackamasriver #oregon #oilpanting

Oil painting in progress. Bridge over the Clackamas River.

My whole family watched together. It was great!

Mark Glasby @markglasby.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I took a big wrong turn with this one and had to wait until it was really dry before I could pick it up again. I dreaded coming back to it thinking it was a failed painting. Pushed forward today and I’ve got it to a good place. #wip #oilpaint #skull #dnd #darkart #undead #paintinginprogress

Spent the afternoon in this practice painting; big leaps forward. #wip #oilpaint #skull #dnd #darkart #undead #paintinginprogress I also started setting up a new big ass landscape painting.

Thanks, Jon! :) these are really fun to paint.

Spent 4 hours into this painting. Another practice skull. 16x20” linen. #wip #oilpaint #skull #dnd #darkart #undead #paintinginprogress

Underpainting. Autocorrect always tries to change this to “Underpants”. This is not a complaint.

Skull underpainting on linen. I toned this canvas mostly with raw umber and burnt sienna, but also burnt umber and caput mortum in smaller amounts. Initial drawing in burnt umber. All from Vasari Colors. I use just bristle brushes for like 99% of the painting.

Mark Glasby @markglasby.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

It’s done! I’ll most likely post a pic after it’s varnished. Really happy how it turned out. Oil on linen 16”x20”. #oilpaint #skull #dnd #darkart #undead #osr #painting #pdxart #art (and it’s already SOLD!)

I’ve been going through them. I’m on book 3.

I am 100% positive that the person reading this online training I have to take at work is an energy vampire. Zzzzzzzzz…

Mark Glasby @markglasby.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Almost done! Maybe another mini-round and touch up that grill. #wip #oilpaint #skull #dnd #darkart #undead #paintinginprogress

Mark Glasby @markglasby.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

More progress on this one. Roughed in the grill and some lights/corrections. 16x20” (sold) #wip #oilpaint #skull #darkart #dnd

Holy crap! I think I sold my first painting!

Some progress yesterday. Still working with a simplified palette. #wip #oilpaint #skull

I didn’t catch any fish, but I did take some nice pictures. Here’s one:

Yes, the guys fixing the road were dressed as pirates. (OMG I initially wrote “Those guys fixing the…” and my Jersey is showing)

I haven’t brought in the brights and lights yet. I tend to work dark to mids for a while and bring the lights in at the end.

Mark Glasby @markglasby.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Work in progress: underpainting and some tonal work. Big skull in oils.16x20” just burnt umber and raw umber so far. #wip #oilpainting #skull #darkart

I’m starting a painting. First steps and the reference (which was a pain in the ass to string up with four pound test monofilament).

Today I fell into the Wilson River. It was very cold (but it was fun).

Wilson River, Oregon. Taken about an hour before I fell into it. 🤭

All of those “I’m saving this fancy bottle for a special occasion” are gonna get popped. All of them.

My family and I are in the crowd (somewhere). Our first Thorns match and we had an amazing time! Cool flag. 🤘
