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?
Hey Robin, I like the perspective on this one.
This is stunning. I want to have painted it! Nel
Elio. I do use Daniel Smith, also I have Da Vinci.
I have never tested the lightfastness of these paints but would be interested to know
Thanks Silvi! I was doing pretty good on your blog and then it locked up on me, but then my server is having trouble this week too.
Hi Nel
Thank you and thanks for checkin in
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.
I never meant to hurt you bro. I'll have a talk with mr. spamblocker
