Thanks! All my recent paintings incorporate using a marker or a pen in this way

Yes, a mix of solvent, oil and varnish. Mix in paint until it’s an inky consistency

I love my new Montana refillable pen! This is all oil paint!

A painting from 2023. It’s about my mom’s stay in a Displaced Persons camp at the end of WWII.

Baltic nations cut ties to Russian power grid, prepare to link with EU The three Baltic states disconnected their electricity systems from Russia's power grid on Saturday, the region's operators said, part of a plan designed to integrate the countries more closely with the European Union and boost security.

A bit of good news. The Baltic States have cut their energy dependence on Russia. They are now connected to the EU grid!

“Why hasn’t anyone bought this yet? It’s fuckin’ awesome”- my husband last night. I brought this home to hang in our luxury unit since we now have such large, plain walls. I also have the portrait of my momma as a kiddo that was painted by an unknown artist in the displaced persons camp.

It’s my favorite varnish, very versatile.

Acrylic on panel. Sums up just about everything right now. But that was to be expected.

Perfect

Varnishing this painting with Gamvar Satin. The varnish offers UV protection for my fluorescent pigments. I may add a coat of cold wax varnish to reduce the sheen.

Oh no! My condolences

Thanks for sharing!

When I visited Lithuania in 2006 I noticed that every time we went out, my cousin’s husband brought a leather satchel. “His documents”, my cousin explained. 50 years of authoritarian rule had ended, but he was conditioned to bring his papers everywhere with him.
