Roger, these look great to me!
Seeing your work and the available subject matter, I getting "curiouser and curiouser" about the whole world of flats.
Question: are these true flats or demirondes, and either way, which do you prefer?

Looks good Rodger.

Pedro, Ron, thanks very much both of you.

Dan, thank you, the colours are more or less correct. I used quite a bit of Paynes Grey in various areas, for example the shadow of the figs in the snow to try to give a cold effect.

Thanks Colin. These are true flats although only engraved on one side. They are available from http://www.fredericus-rex.de/ and in North America http://www.thelittletinsoldier.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21
I don't have any preference, I just paint what takes my fancy.

Thank you Kev.
I'm beginning to get the hang of these oils now. I tried using the Artisan medium but it took forever to dry so now I'm just using plain old water. I have used thinners as used with regular oils with good results but as a corner of the dining room painter have gone back to using water so as not to upset anyone.
