Hi Alex,

Did you try walnut oil?
There's a topic here that will give some light on the subject.

Oh, I forgot about walnut oil! Probably because I didn't realize it was a solvent! Garth, I do remember you mentioning you used it. OK, now I'm going to read up about it. Thank you both.

Garth, see how long it took me to get good slides of this portrait! You saw it when I had just finished it.

Alexandra, I am a little slow to comment but I wanted to tell you that I am impressed by this painting. I especially love the simplicity of the composition, the way the flowers create depth, and your brush strokes must have been placed by angels.

Lisa, you made my day! Maybe there is an angelic part of my personality that I never knew about. And thanks so much for posting your comments. I don't think of them as "late."

Alex
