Untitled Number Bear Reworked

After looking at this piece in it's "finished" state for a month, I decided it was not finished at all and reworked it to the state you see here. I am much happier with it now.

I haven't touched oil paints in years and I haven't touched oil paints that were not black and white in more years. And it has been even longer still since I worked on canvas. So what do I do to try and ease my way back into oils? I paint a 30"x40" piece in full color on canvas. It was damn fun and took way too much time since I had to relearn a lot. Mostly I had to relearn patience.
Let me know what you think/what I should try next time. Keep in mind that the picture has a glare at the top making the head look gritty when in real life it is fairly shiny. I am still learning how to take photos of my work as well.

This is the painting that started me down the path of "masks". I am thinking of taking a break from these now.

Je T'Aime

8x10
Mixed Media

This came down from a show I had up for about a year. They finally decided to rotate artists. The scan I took of it made it look strange since the image of the face sat about a centimeter off the scan bed.
