Steve, I've really enjoyed your paintings, but for some reason they are reproduced very darkly on the forum. Love the technique. Keep it up.

Thanks Vic. The paintings are dark anyway, but the main problem is that computer screens vary a lot and what looks good on one doesn't on another. The other thing is that they look better on a dark background like you can set up on Mindat.

Steve
