Also, cultural issues that could concern us visual artists will be debated and commented here.
Finally, I will have the opportunity of extending my activity of assistance and help to other painters, specially newbies, about oil painting techniques, critique and practice.Eduardo Floreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01418211317795096391noreply@blogger.comBlogger91100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742832560712036005.post-8047681819054992382009-11-30T08:36:00.005-04:002009-11-30T08:52:56.644-04:00Fractal Art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0oMP_zrDuKg/SxO-x23AyoI/AAAAAAAAAHU/ABc4DaiuyE4/s1600/Fourth+Dimension.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
