Mark, your small paintings are powerfully dynamic. Seeing these I learn that the convenience of minimizing does not lessen the power of composition and the impact of value. Thank you for making yourself visible.

If you use rosemary synthetic brushes and also use Liquin or the Gamblin gel does it make the brushes degrade faster? I work for 3-4 hours at a stretch so the Liquin or gel can potential dry out the brushes more easily, leaving residue. Should I be concerned? Is there a remedy? Shoukd I periodically dip my brush in walnut or canola oil to suck out the liquin or other medium. Thank you in advance.

I have no idea since I don't use those brushes often. If you let it sit that long in any brush, it will begin to dry in the brush. Best practice is to wash them often. Once Liquin dries, you'll need a realy strong solvent like acetone, to remove it. It's a resin and isn't easily dissolved.
