Yea, Lighten up...

Marvin:

You know I use Marogers in my work. In my opinion, your comment carried an implication that my paintings would overly darken over time.

I thought it was not a very nice thing to post about another artist's works.

If that was not your intended message, then I apologize.

I research my materials extensively. I firmly believe that Maroger medium is good stuff, and that (as with any painting medium) if made properly and used judiciously, it will not adversely effect the painting over time any more than using any other medium would.

I don't know what type or formulation of Maroger John Koch may have used in his works. Certainly the paintings I have seen in person and on the web appear to be in very good condition. However, I will take your word for it and fold that information into my thinking as I move forward in my painting.
