Color without a subject
In abstract oil painting the color stays workable for a long time, so transitions can be pulled soft or left standing as a thick knife edge. Anyone who wants to buy abstract oil paintings is usually after pictures where color, surface and rhythm carry everything, and this page has abstract oil paintings for sale.
Oil paint dries slowly. That leaves time to work layers into each other, to blend wet into wet or to change a passage later with glazes. The result is color space with depth, because thick areas cast small shadows while thin glazes glow. Reds and blues stay especially rich and warm in oil.

Light from the side
Large fields of color can carry a room even without a motif. Hang the picture where side light skims across the surface and the brushwork comes alive. Dark tones are happiest away from harsh midday sun.
Support and varnish
In the description, look for the support and for whether the work has been varnished yet. Thick passages need months to dry through. A photo of the back shows the stretcher bars and the signature.
