| definition | Italian Chub from Lake Bohinjsko in Stara Fužina, Slovenia.
My first painting with my new L. Cornelissen & Son pigments. Brilliant colors. On the way to Slovenia we stopped in London and I visited their art store, bought 15 jars of pigments and carried them with me through Slovenia. The reason for having to carry them is they couldn't legally be shipped from the UK given some of the chemical properties.
