Eye don't know what eye am doing with oils

So, a few days ago, I resteemed the work of the incredibly talented @davidcheifetz:

His piece inspired me to try oils again, after an extremely long hiatus. I ALSO had to try because the talented @leoplaw in so many words, dared me to. Hahaha.

I've always been more of an acrylic and watercolor painter, @ghostfish is the one who introduced me to the magic of oil paints in his surrealist and beautiful work.

Here is the result of this afternoon's quick study... the classic lover's eye:

I know I could certainly use more practice, but at least I gave it a try and will continue to experiment with this medium.

Thank you for looking!
