Hey Freddy- Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know they were in the Bali Hai gift shop - I had just heard that they were going to be in specialty stores and a few big box places.

Thanks, Thanatos and Tiki Duddy! I REALLY appreciate the kind words.

Tiki Duddy- I paint these with enamels. There is no pasty consistency with enamel like there is with tube oil paints, so I cannot get any texture with the paint - but it works well for what I am doing. Enamel is more of a liquid type paint. By the end of the painting, there are tons of paper cups which are folded closed at the top lying all over with mixed paint colors in them - I dont use a palette, but rather dip the brush into the mixed paint in paper Dixie cups.

I know that it may be much easier to use tube paints for this kind of painting, but I am very familiar and comfortable with 1-Shot enamel colors, so I'm like an "old dog."

Hey Ben, I may work Fat Bastard into my hit list! :)
