Hi Lu~ I paint in oils (see calirose in the clay gallery, I used it because it isn't used much -http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/clay/nph-ind.cgi?type=gal&random=11034)

I traversed the Kitchen Table finding your comparison to Toliver (?) and your #5 painting, page 9 I think! Sorry I missed your others.

I don't know of a forum that has good conversation. Reach me at junebuglx at yahoo.com Haven't decided whether I am renewing my membership yet.
PS. I am teaching an oil class starting 5 Oct.!! And I am also teaching a grades 2-6 (divided classes) watercolor--looking for lesson plans that can be painted in less than 1.5 hrs. If you come across any let me know?! This is for an advanced students classes on Saturday beginning Oct 30.
Thanks!
Rhonda
