On the issue of toxic paints; I don't really have an answer for how to deal with the toxic paints. I did reresearch my paints and most of them are non-toxic as far as I've been able to find out. I don't use the two toxic colors too much...because they're toxic. For now I'm just going to paint with the non toxic ones which is much better than not painting at all. I started a painting yesterday that I'm excited about and so hopefully the next post will have pictures. Also I hope to continue the geometry blogging.
