GU artist Jackie Afram feels that foliage has always been part of our holidays. "Surging Red" is my effort with oil bars to capture the elegance of Poinsettias. She also worked with oil bars to create an "Autumn Tapestry."

What IS an oil bar, you wonder? Jackie says "The oil bars I work with are large, (about 8 inches) fat (about an inch and a quarter) compressed oil paint with some wax. While I have been using the bars without other mediums or oil paints, these can be used with them. Imagine you kindergarten crayons being a bit more runny so you can blend them. Detail is a bit difficult but possible. Clean up is easy; no brushes to wash!"
