“Best known for inventing the telegraph and the Morse code, Samuel Morse began his career as a painter. He made this portrait of five-year-old Mary Hone for her father, Isaac, a New York auctioneer. Echoing sentimental English pictures of children, Morse shows her rehearsing her future role as a mother. He wrote: ‘I shall paint her with a cat set up in her lap like a baby, with a towel under its chin, and a cap on its head, and she employed in feeding it with a spoon.’”
Got another oil painting for you all. Here’s a study of my sister’s pet bearded dragon. I’m using water soluble oils as I don’t want to have the nasty chemicals in my house, really impressed with how much they are like normal oils but the one thing I miss is Liquin. Does anyone know of a water soluble medium that has the same flow improving and quick drying properties of Liquin?
