Dark pink and white roses – Day 24 of 30 in 30

 

Remember when I told you my husband was building me shelves for my oil paintings? I now have them throughout my studio, office, and shipping room. Some of them are huge, like 7 feet long. !! I’ll show you more photos later. For now, I’ll just say, I’m beyond thrilled. I no longer have to use precious work table space to dry oil paintings..which can take about a month, since I don’t like using the quick drying mediums. I found the medium to be very yellowing, completely changing the color of my paint as it dried. It also made my oil paint feel rubbery. Maybe I did it wrong? Or maybe it was the brand I used? Have you had good experience with it? 

 

This is an acrylic impasto painting on 16×20 canvas. Dark pink and white roses painted with palette knives. This is Flower Series No 139, and it’s available for purchase here. 

It’s day 24 of 30 in 30. Only one week to go! If you’re just joining in, I’ve been posting every day for the month of January, so be sure to click on my name at the top of the page, and then scroll down to see more. 

The best thing about my floral paintings is they last forever. There will be no wilting, no sagging in the vase, no browning of leaves, no dying, and no watering needed. Also for allergy suffers like me, no sneezing or itchy watery eyes. This is the most excellent news!!
