[Aquanet] of brushes and human nature

[Patrick Davis]

Hi, gang.

I found the recent discussion on Kolinski sable brushes to be most 
interesting. Earlier this year I has asked about them on this discussion 
board, and a member, a most generous (and sneaky) person sent me three 
brushes- one a kolinski and two good synthetics. I immediately wrote 
back and thanked him/her (no clues given) with special raves about the 
sable.

Several weeks later I wrote again and accused my benefactor of being 
both wise and sneaky as I had to admit that when painting, I almost 
invariably reached for the synthetics rather than the sable. This person 
snickered electronically and noted that he/she figured that would happen 
as it mirrored his/her experience. That said, I still lust after the 
sables, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why.

strange but true
