A Very Good Friend of Mine 11" X 14"

For years people have been telling me that oils are way easier than watercolours and until now I never believed them.  They aren't exactly easier but they are much more forgiving.  I always balked at oils because of the solvents and the messy job of cleaning brushes.  I have discovered that vegetable oil and brush soap works fine for cleaning brushes and I thin my paint with walnut oil so no solvents are required.

This still needs a fair but of tweeking but it is were I managed to get to today.
