Some tutorials on different Liquitex, Golden and Dick Blick mediums while in Texas

Here are some of the samples boards that I worked on to show my sister in law some of the different mediums while I was visiting with her.

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like this in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
