Painting with oils


     I have finished another oil painting just to smell the paint and see if I still can. Here is my latest still life - a can of Sterno. I love the idea of canned heat or fire in a can. (Those of you who know me and of my fire sculpture will know what I mean).
     Anyway I like the challenge of rendering such an elusive element as fire with oil paint.

    Great painting. Sterno always makes me think of an old Mad cartoon I read as a kid. I will have to look it up.
