| Well guys, A Walmart has opened near our house and it is less than 1 minute drive from the house... . I went berserk thinking of all the possibilities for still life. So here is the latest. I have used clove oil to prevent fast drying. (Also, Mark Carder, a professional, uses clove oil in his painting as well. He calls the mixture DELQ). Size: 6" X 8" raymar panel (heavenly panels to paint on). Time: Don't know, because I don't care about things drying anymore because of the clove oil. So I came back to it, did a little and came back to it. However, I started last night and finished it this afternoon... it was rather liberating not to worry about things drying on me, but I have a feeling it will spoil me... All constructive Criticism are welcome... | |

| You always amaze me with how realistic you get things without it being photographic. As usual, I have no suggestions on this one. BTW! What is a raymar panal? I've never heard of them. Judy | |

| Beautiful work, Faisal. Thanks for posting these. One day I will try a still life. Keep up the good work. Oh, does the clove oil have an odour? I have never used it. | |

| Clove oil has a wonderful Clove smell. I like the aromatic smell of cloves... . You can get 100% clove oil at whole foods. I would avoid buying from other stores that sell at a cheaper price... just a suggestion. | |
