After a very long time, I recently circled back around to painting with oils. Here are some that are currently available. I started with this medium a half a century ago, and I just thought it was time to get back to it. There’s a color glow with oils that acrylic can’t get, at least I don’t think so.

I’m still making paintings in acrylic and watercolor, still have a bunch of new projects scheduled for parks (Hawaii Volcanoes right now). But these little 5″ x 7″ paintings (that’s the canvas size) are using various fluid mediums as I’m trying to find my footing with this. For some, I used linseed oil, some with odorless turpentine or a mix of both, some with an addition of either cobalt drier or Liquin (a dryer). All are now far enough along to offer them here in a series of blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are small enough to ship inexpensively, so we’re offering them for $95 framed – plus a bit of USPS postage. Email me at larryeifert@gmail.com if you’re interested. Or if you’d like to see some of the others.<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a few months since I posted my recent paintings here. Some of my subscribers have written asking what’s happened, but it hasn’t been for lack of work to show – I’ve been busy. In fact, it’s been on of the busiest years in decades for both of us. I’ve decided that’s really no good excuse, so expect to see more soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
