Hi, Peggy.

Thanks for taking the time for such a thorough reply. Having the resource of such proven, professional opinion (A Stroke of Genius, et al) is going to prove invaluable. What an attentive, generous group you are a part of, Peggy!

My "studio" (what would be the dining room in a "normal" home) receives natural light through a large patio window oriented north-west; mostly west. The only time I use really bright artificial light is when I do my graphite study. I try to paint as much as possible in natural light on week-ends, and only revert to my (one)OTT light at night. I find it a very subtle light, and my blues are blue the next day, not green. (I must plead to a certain blue-green deficiency in my vision; I'm constantly asking my wife "what IS that color?".)

So, I do not think we're really that far apart on this topic. Thanks again, Peggy.
