Looks like your workspace is a bit cramped. Painting a sunny image such as this one must make the winter weather less dreary =)
Oils are wonderful. The linseed fragrance permeates the room and becomes a soothing balm that drives away the worries of a harsh day. The fact that they take a considerable amount of time to dry means that any project turns into a weeks-long affair, waiting a week or more between layers. There are a few tricks to making it dry faster, such as using a 50/50 linseed oil/turpenoid mixture to thin the paint. I'm so used to oil at this point, I can't work fast enough for acrylics.
You're making great progress! Keep it up.
