What is your favorite art medium? (If you have one)

I love charcoal pencils, I'm not really very good but it's calming and I like the look. Oriental calligraphy is another art form I used to enjoy. Made my own inks and ordered unique papers from all over the world.

Oils. There's a romance to them for me and the results can be really striking.

@Abstraction My mom's best work was oil seascapes. Her best friend insisted she bring a painting to an art show, mom hesitated, finally just grabbed a little (very simple) still life...took it to the art show and won first place. You just never know.

@Grateful4you I have a seascape in my photos here which I entered into the ARC Salon - supposedly the foremost art competition for modern realism - 6000 entries from 75 countries in different categories. My seascape has currently made semi-finals along with my another painting which is also in my images here. Quite pleased with that result so far. If I make finals I'll be chuffed.

@Abstraction You have some work posted here? I will have to check that out. I have just one Seascape, not one of moms but it's quite lovely. I hope you make it in the finals, keep us posted so I can brag..."I knew him when" I was a caregiver to the first woman curator at the Detroit institute of art. She left me two works by the Hungarian artist Zoltan Sepshy and one very old lithograph of the poor Anne Boylen which is my favorite.
