A New Blue!

The winter blues have competition!  While trying to find new electronic properties for compunds, the researchers at Oregon State University accidentally discovered a new blue resulting from experiments with Manganese Oxide. (See:  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/science/24obpigment.html?_r=2)  Unfortunately, tubes of this new blue won't be hitting the art supply stores anytime soon.

Show: Main Line Art Center 72nd Anniversary Members' Exhibition


The Main Line Art Center 72nd Anniversary Members' Exhibition is especially interesting in that the wide variety of styles and mediums are tastefully displayed such that the exhibition reads surprizingly well as a unified whole. "Rose Trio in Turkish Coffee Pot" is the painting I submitted. The show runs through January 14, 2010.
