All of these are oil painting on canvas with the exception of the last two.  The last two are oil painting on wooden pallet.  I will be posting my paintings here as I produce them but they can also be found on my Facebook in the album titled paintings which are accessible to the public.  These particular paintings will be displayed in an art show for local artist on November 10th and 11th, 2012.

6 White Oil Paint Brands and How They Compare

  6 White Oil Paint Brands and How They Compare  Since I began my oil painting adventure many years ago, I have always used the brand of oil paint called Georgian by Daler Rowney. I used to stockpile these paints when I could. Unfortunately, when I had what I thought to be enough, I stopped buying it. Fast forward several years, and this year I started to run out. But when I went back to the store, I discovered they no longer carried that brand of paint. Forced to buy another brand, I decided to experiment and see which brand I enjoyed the most. At the time, I bought Master's Touch because that's all that was available at my local store. After some browsing, I found several other brands through Blick Art Supply online.  All of the paints are titanium white. The Brands we are going to look at today are:  Master’s Touch (mixed with refined flax oil) Georgian by Daler Rowney (Unknown) Winsor & Newton - Winton Oil Colour (safflower oil) Blick Studio Oil Color (safflo...

“Dragon Blood: Omnibus” by. Lindsay Buroker A Book Review with SPOILERS

  “Dragon Blood: Omnibus” by. Lindsay Buroker A Book Review with SPOILERS I loathe washing dishes. Every day sometimes two or three times a day, it is never-ending. It’s not so much the act of washing dishes I hate, but the time it takes to stand there, washing my life away with soapy bubbles. So, as a way to distract myself from the time ticking away, I enjoy listening to a good audiobook. I happened upon this book when I was in between Audible credits. My audible subscription includes the first three books, and I like dragons so, I gave it a shot. It was a good choice. First Impressions:  Immediately, I was a little confused about Jaxi because she just started talking to Sardelle. Initially, the image of someone trapped under a building popped into my head until it was clarified later. Then their conversation style took some getting used to because Jaxi, the talking sword, jumps into thoughts and conversations, sometimes without warning.  Quick Review:  The book st...
