Sunday Morning A Story Telling Painting

"Sunday Morning" A story telling commission painting I started a fer weeks ago for a local couple. He owns his own house painting business and she helps in his office. She does quilting ,so I added a partial part of her quilt to her overalls. She was also raised on a dairy farm so I gave her a cow necklace. They have chickens ,this parrot and 4 long haired chihuahua's which I only added 2 and got bit 3 times by them during the photo shoot.They garden is why the tomato plant and sunflower. He is wearing an Army hat in honor of his son that is in special forces in the Army.. I will be delivering this to them in a few days once it dries. Hope they like it! If anyone is interested in a story telling painting down the line keep me in mind! This is 36x48x1.5 oil
Here is a link below for prints , to view it larger and to see my body of quirky work!

Oil Painting -Don't Listen To Schooling!!!

I don't understand why many schools insist students need to use mediums and turpentine to paint with oil paints! It's not true. It's toxic and a headache. when you want to wash your brushes all you need is DAWN dish soap or Murphey's oil soap. I do have a glass jar 1/5 filled with terpenoid natural in the green can and is citrus based to soak my brushes after painting till I get to the sink to wash which is like a month but that's it! If anyone has anymore questions about this feel free to ask. I also find Oil paint is cheaper to paint with than acrylics.
