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 high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.
