White Carnations

oil on canvas, 12" x 12"

This may be my last oil painting using a brush, unless I can figure out a way forward without using mineral spirits.  I used both brush and palette knife on this one, but from now on, it will be palette knife only with oils, since the mineral spirits have been talking to my kidneys.  It saddens me because I do love working with oils using both brushes and knives together to make a painting.  It's not the end of the world, since I can do that with acrylics, and if I had to choose one medium, it would probably be the plastic one; the colors are just so dynamic
