Entirely possible. Oils can be reworked with addition of mineral spirits or turpentine.
hit surprisingly hard for such a chill scene. Very cool.
The artist is the son of Pepsiman.
Damn.. Yeah, that's about it. My dad is now a memory and this is exactly the metaphor for him.. a shape that is all but invisible but for what we hold in our heads.
Amazing painting. Oooof.
