Life has been busy here, too. I've been following your wonderful paintings, but never seem to have time to respond. One of these days I'll catch up.

I'm glad that you enjoyed my blog. Did you happen to see the entry about using a tennis ball to hold the brush. I had to do that until I had hand surgery which eliminated the problem.

Two of the other entries talk about using water soluble oils to paint instead of regular oils, so you don't have to use the solvents. I'm asthmatic plus I have been recently diagnosed with lupus so I am happy to be away from the fumes and toxins of regular oils.

We have started a forum for water soluble oils which is really helpful for new and old painters. Here's the ;link in case you didn't see it http://watersolubleoils.forumotion.com/index.htm

It is really a fun and friendly forum so check it out.

Another alternative for you is Golden Open Acrylics. They are very creamy and dry slower than regular acrylics so they blend more easily like oils, but use no solvents.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write.

Hi Judy:
I am so glad that I opened you link, my name is Andy, i was told that i have what the doctor calls c-l-l witch is a blood disorder. I am at the beginning stages right now. He told me that i had to give up the oil painting, although i am just a beginning painter i was so distraught. Now I know that i can continue with my painting again, i have tryed acrylics and i do not like them.

I heard the same thing. I have only been using the walnut oil for a year so I can't verify if it yellows or not. I do have a letter from the person who introduced me to it and I 'll see if i can find it to see what she says. I do know that the walnut oil remains consistent in the bottle ( I do refrigerate it in between uses), while the WSO linseed oil yellowed in the bottle after a year and got very thick.

Maybe the B12 is helping, Just be sure to take aB complex with it. If you would like tosee my natural health web site go to

I think I heard somewhere that linseed oil will darken with age and that the walnut oil will not. Have you read or heard anything about this? Wow! As far as my breathing is concerned---this is good news, also!

Sitting in church yesterday, even though the heat was on, it felt like the air conditioning was also on. I noticed it because I could breathe better. Or maybe they have a different heating system (electric?)....anyway, I was able to breath better yesterday morning in church. Also, just started taking sublingual vitamin B12 and it is definitely giving me more strength. Maybe that is helping my breathing? It is supposed to help the immune system.

I find it in actual art supplies stores rather than places like Michaels . It is produced by M.Graham and Co. There is also a Walnut Alkyd medium which makes the Water soluble Oils dry faster.

WSO linseed oil is fine. I just prefer the Walnut oil because there is no odor. The Alkyd has a slight odor but doesn't seem t bother my breathing.

I like the tail the best, too. I'm glad i changed it. I would like to put a second highlight in the eyes, but the original is only 5x7 so it is pretty small. I'm afraid of ruining them.

Where can I purchase the walnut oil?
Or since I already have linseed oil for my WSO, can i use it?

The tail looks the most realistic of the entire painting!
I can almost feel it swish!
