I would say to not use the oil plants. If you want some plants, use air plants. you can get them at shellhorizon.com or off ebay.

ok purple crab lover-i got you on this one. the ? was oil paints...not oil plants

-now that was funny but back to the ? at hand-oil paints are not a good idea due to the harmful smell and they could ingest some paint if it chips off.
