Here is a collection of some of my favorite brands of paints I use.

I get that question often “How do you get such rich and vibrant colors?”.

It’s in the quality of paint and the skill of the artist in mixing his/her own shades. I use high quality paint.

After painting for over 15 years full time I have learned to mix and create my own shades as well. Paint, that is what painting is all about. I use lots of paint. Granted it is expensive, some of my tubes run up to 130+ dollars per 150 ml. Ouch that can hurt the budget of any struggling artist. But why do I use them, because I want to give my collectors “QUALITY”!  When a collector sends me an email saying  “Even better in person! The colors are so rich!” I know I am doing the right thing by investing in quality paint.

The handmade, pigment rich quality of  Williamsburg Paint for example is really unmatched.

As an artist/painter, I express myself with paint. I am not really good with words so naturally I don’t like to write much. I dabbled in poetry and writing once, but found painting to be my forte.

I often read articles that are written by authors who have a way with words and sometimes I read something that really is special. I guess we all have our gifts.

I received an email yesterday and a pdf  file attached with an article written by “Rupa Sengupta” of the Times of India.  The article is called:

In The Wild Garden

In the paradise of the natural order, Ginette Callaway’s copperhead snake sheds the burden of its demonisation,

The Times of India is India’s most-read English newspaper and the World’s largest-selling English newspaper.

I knew they wanted to use one of my paintings for an article. I was approached a few months ago about it and I gave them permission. I thought it was just a picture they wanted for the snake festival article.

Yesterday I received a copy of the article and to my surprise it was such a wonderfully written piece about the Okefenokee and my Painting “Copperhead Snake in the Okefenokee”!

Rupa Sengupta’s words flow like poetry.  I admit it brought tears to my eyes!

The article is art in itself. Bravo Rupa, I thank you for your celebration of my piece of art, wrapped in such inspiring words.
