[Bryn-gwlad] local period paint source

[Coblaith Mhuimhneach]

We stopped by Jerry's Artarama (6010 N IH-35, in Austin--right next to 
the highway, about a block from Airport) last weekend, and I saw there 
some very interesting paints, hand-mixed from natural pigments in a 
linseed oil base with no modern additives.  The brand was Williamsburg 
Oil Paints, and prices ranged fom $9 to $43 per tube.  A little poking 
around revealed the manufacturer's website, at 
<http://www.williamsburgoilpaint.bizland.com/index.htm>.

I'm sure the more experienced fine artists among us are familiar with 
these paints, but I'd never seen them before.  I thought there might be 
others in the barony who would be interested to hear that ready-mixed 
period-style paints were available in the area.
