On my way home from the Dentist I got my first tube of Gamblin’s Torrit Grey paint. Gamblin hosts an art competition for artists using Torrit Grey every August and I look forward to finally entering. The paint is free and it is made of the leftover pigments that get caught in the air filtration system at the factory. I got my tube from our neighborhood art store called I think Sixth Avenue Art and Craftsman Supplies.

Torrit Grey is probably the second coolest name for a tube of paint. I think the coolest name is Krappalack Dunkel- aka Alizarin Crimson.

Also, here is my new painting apron. The old one, which was made by my grandmother and said “I’m a Hot Tomato,” disappeared in the move.
