linseed oil 5x7
I found this old bottle of linseed oil in my classroom. I'm not sure where it came from. I usually mix my mediums with stand oil because it's gooier and I like that.
I dig your blog, what a cool idea, a painting a day! You should make one of those tear off calendars! Anyway I like what your doing, keep up the good work!
Just a wee note -- that stuff just might be stand oil by now. Real (traditional) stand oil is just linseed oil left to partially oxidize in the presence of sunlight (the UV does the dirty).
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach art at Chana High School in Auburn California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. Lately I have not been as strict with my painting schedule although I still update this blog regularly. I want to do some larger paintings that may take me more than a day to complete. Unless marked otherwise, these paintings are for sale. Please direct all purchase enquiries to Elliot Fouts Gallery. If you are unsure about the availability of a painting, please don’t hesitate to email me.
