Morning Paddle & Lead White & My Ongoing Turquoise Problem

I went for an early morning paddle before work.

It's so deeply peaceful to be on the water early... it's worth waking up for it.

After paddling, I walked to the office.

The World Trade Center looked good this morning.

After work I walked up to Soho Art Supply because I wanted a tube of Rublev's lead white.

Soho Art is one of the few independent art stores left--- there used to be a bunch of them, they are all gone-- and they carry Rublev in-store.

This tube of Old Holland caught my attention.

It is a PG 19.... which I think I have in another brand, I just don't recall it being this pretty!

Soho's prices are a little bit higher than anything online or in-store at Blick.

So I didn't get the OH today, because I dropped enough money on the lead white and an aluminum panel:

This tube is HEAVY AF, it's amazing!

I will think about that OH tube of PG19 though, and I have to look at the one I have at home.
