Some of the newest Liquitex Heavy Body colors, Light Bismuth Yellow and Light Phthalocyanine Green played a major role in color mixing in my latest painting of Bash Bish Falls in Lenox, Massachusetts that I completed this past weekend.  They’re subtle mixed colors that I’ve come to love!

The world of fraudsters is ever evoloving and Steve Chamberlain alerted me earlier to a new style of attempt. He received a phone call from the official number for the London office from someone proclaiming to be Romain. The style of speaking was completely wrong so Steve could immediately tell it was wrong, but it does highlight how we must constantly question the authenticity of emails, telephone calls, teams messages.

In this example, the attacker was able to make it look like the call was coming from an official Colart number because of weaknesses in the global phone system which allows people to easily spoof their caller-id so that they appear to be coming from a number that looks credible. Unfortunately this is not something we can block.

As always be dilligent and if you have doubts, never be pressurised into doing something that doesn’t feel right and instead report the incident to your line manager and IT.
