I love your paintings. When I saw you had to quit using the oil paint because of being allergic, I wondered if there was an alternative to the regular thinners. I googled it and came up with this answer. It would be as shame to have to quit painting them as you create beautiful work. "Yes, there are alternative thinners available for oil paints for individuals with allergies to traditional solvents like turpentine or mineral spirits. These alternatives include low-odor solvents, natural alternatives like citrus-based turpentines, and even solvent-free painting techniques" I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but I figured it could not hurt to post it.
