In case you missed it, here's the link to our blog post which puts the spotlight on Williamsburg Handmade Oil Colors Porcelain White. We decided to look at four of Williamsburg’s Handmade White Oil Paints to explore the differences in working characteristics between them and see why they introduced Safflower Porcelain White to their range: https://www.jacksonsart.com/…/11/four-w hite-oil-paints-tes…/

Mark Finch won the Scenes of Everyday Life category award in Jackson’s Open Painting Prize 2019. His disturbing painting, Circean Poisons, depicts the Greek myth of Circe, who, in The Odyssey, uses food to transform Odysseus’s greedy crewmen into swine on her island of Aeaea. In Mark Finch’s retelling, Aeaea takes the shape of a colourful English fairground and Circe, a vendor, doles out the transformative fast food from her truck. The winning painting is one in a series of works that reimagines Greek tragedies to expose the omnipresent themes of human nature, with details from the original myths, embedded in the British landscape. We caught up with Mark about his palette, perspective and production of a myth: https://www.jacksonsart.com/…/…/mark- finch-artist-interview/
