6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is another small iris painting. As always, I paint with walnut oil mainly because I have read that it is more flexible on drying. The truth is, I have never had a problem with paint falling off or cracking but I guess the next couple of hundred years will tell that story. I work usually
alla prima so these issues are reduced anyway. I also can paint with a minimum of toxic chemicals if I wish to. If I painted on linen like I do for larger paintings, the texture would be too distracting.
