It certainly has been cloudy lately.  I don't mind overcast weather but I would like to see the sun soon.  It always amazes me that when I have a patron coming over for a studio visit it is almost always cloudy.  We have an active solar house and it is a dark house on one side and bright on the other. 
A lot of my artwork is on display in the dark side of the house, not just the studio.   I turn on a lot of lights but the natural light coming in through the windows looks the best.

Anyway, I have finally started my Wintergreen sunset painting!  It is great to back to oil paint but I think I will be ordering some very expensive colors soon.  It would be great if professional oil paint was the same price as house paint. 

I knew an artist that painted very large works and he would use house paint.  I can understand that!  The colors are way too flat for me and I want my work to last forever so I use Gamblin and Utrect. 

I mostly use the more expensive brand which is Gamblin but I don't like Gamblin Cerulean Blue so I order that color from Utrecht.  I also don't use earth colors which are less expensive.  I have a colorist palette so I order expensive blues, greens, yellows, reds, and purples.  I can get any kind of earth color from those colors and I think the effect is more vibrant. 

Right now, Cadmium Red is $66 for a large tube.  I always buy large tubes. The small ones don't last long at all. 

Okay. Enough shop talk! Time to paint.  I hope everyone has a great day!

Life with the Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde and I are having more trouble finding things than usual.  I usually get very aggravated and start cussing like a sailor.  Clyde just keeps trying to find whatever it is we can't locate. 

Anyway I told Clyde the first nine chapters of The Marriage book are "Where is it?" 

Chapter 10 is "I don't know".

You got that right Hubby!
