New Oil Painting: Waiting for a Title
I love acrylic, encaustic, mixed media, etc. I used to paint large and small pieces in oil but I haven't done so in a long time. Partly I've been having fun exploring other media, partly it's the mess, and partly I needed a break from the long drying time. Lately I have been missing oil a lot and have decided it's time to get back to this demanding and incomparable medium. The above is a new oil painting. Can't wait to do more.
Maybe "Waiting for a Title" is the title.
Last weekend I went to the "European Flea Market" across from Monticello Antique Marketplace on SE Stark St. This event was a benefit the Oregon Spay/Neuter Fund and The Oregon Rescue Fund. It was a great opportunity to give to good causes and to hunt/gather. One of my PSU students was very involved in the project. Good work, Kate!

Some of my Flea Market Booty
Had to get a grab bag. Wonder what all is in it. Let's see!
Yum--lots of old lace, an old playing card, ribbon, a vintage button, several white buttons and some dark ivory card stock. I can use this stuff for sure!If you are near the Montavilla area of Portland, do stop by Monticello Antique Market. I'm fortunate that I can walk there from home and often do, especially when I need a visual pick me up, or to replenish supplies. You never know what you'll find...

Great oil painting. My sister paints with oil and I always have great respect for those that use that medium. I just don't have the patience for it which is why I use acrylics. One of these days I might have to give it a try though.
Thanks, Kathryn. Yes, oil painting takes a lot of patience, and I don't always have that! I plan to work on an oil painting in between working on pieces in other media. We'll see how it goes:)
Next time I visit I want to go to that store. Where you got all the lovely cool stuff. *sigh*
Gorgeous! I've yet to try painting with oils, but I'm looking forward to taking the plunge one day!
Monticello is one of my favorite Portland stops. I haven't been to the sale across the street, but it sounds like it was a great event for a good cause.
