    OMG...

    You are in Seattle so that means you are using Daniel Smith?

    Are you happy with them? Their prices are great! Have you ever checked their lighfastness?

    I attempted to send Robin an email today only to receive this lovely auto-reply.

    I am hurt beyond words. I can only say I haven't painted since.
