I’m in Canada, on Lake of the Woods, and having trouble painting because they apparently changed the recipe of the blue I’ve been using for 25 years. Since all of my colours are mixed from the three primaries and white, this overly opaque, overly bright blue is throwing off my entire palette. There is no place in town one can buy oil paints, so for the time being, I am thwarted. However, painting this, my favorite of all places, may be as frought with complications as a surgeon operating on their parent.
