OIL PAINTINGS One of the images that I’m most fond of is the “Madonna and Child with the Chancellor Rolin” by Jan and Eck. This piece is one my favorites because it uses oil. When using oil the images of the paintings seem to realistically speak to me. This particular painting enables both fusion of tones and crisp effects and is unsurpassed for textural variation.

Already‚ car manufacturers have cars which run on hydrogen‚ natural gas‚ even solar panel. The longer oil prices rises‚ the more attractive these options will be. It is not unfeasible that in a decade‚ we will simply not need or want to consume oil any more. However‚ this transition
