Oil on Ampersand Gessobord 6x6 In.
$75
Purchase through my online gallery at Daily Paintworks HERE.
Several of the artists in the Leslie Saeta 30 paintings in 30 days are painting with a theme and I guess mine might me "Things I've always wanted to paint" and to experiment with. This was done with water soluble oils and I've wanted to paint with them. Here is one book in my library I like on this medium, Mary Deutchman "Watersoluble Oils" and I'll share other books during this challenge.This original oil is painted from my own cup and Gala apple. 

I've come up with a way for drying the oil paintings with a cardboard tower and individual applesauce cups as the cornerstones. I've cut about 15" squares of cardboard, place a painting or two on the cardboard, put my cups bottom up at the 4 corners for spacers, add another layer of cardboard, etc. Many painters have drying shelves but no time for that so I'm building a little tower with mine. I might post a photo tomorrow of it.
