Grayscale oil painting

Grayscale Still Life
Medium: oil on canvas
This is an oil study I did with only titanium white and lamp black. I turned the entire photo black and white to reduce the distractions from around the canvas, but it may have looked better beforehand.

Non-Verbal Learning Disorder

NLD
Medium: oil on canvas

An oil painting depicting non-verbal learning disorder. NLD people are very literal, so much so that others often misunderstand them by reading unintended meaning into their words. To an NLD person, understanding normal human speech is like constantly trying to crack a code. Interacting is exhausting, and while many NLD people truly love others, they usually need significant amounts of time alone to “recharge.” NLD people often hold views which many people consider to be contradictory because of the associations normal people make with those views. However, NLD people look at the views themselves rather than what people generally associate with them, and thus their views are not contradictory at all, but rather complimentary, like the colors in the painting.
