But it can't beat Strand power

I have finally started drawing again, and working up the nerve to paint with oils. Sad, since it's been almost 10 years. I have stuck with acrylic for that long, just because it's not exactly the healthiest thing to paint around oils and paint thinner(don't get me started with the varnishes). I'm getting excited about that and the prospect of spring. No more snow please. And if it snows on my birthday, I just might cry.
