Tuesday night, I decided to do some quick studies with cold wax medium. I still had my piles of oils and cold wax medium on my palette, and they were still usable. Plus, I had just bought some 5x5 and 5x7 frames. So I did a 5x5 and 5x7 of the wildflowers at the front of our driveway.

I did most of both paintings with a palette knife and then the tip of an angled paintbrush. One thing I really like about using cold wax medium is the texture that I can get. I've always loved the look of texture in a painting, and I certainly tend to use a lot of paint.
Overall, I'm pleased with these two paintings. They're small. I finished both in about two hours altogether.
