No use any more

What have I missed here Derek? No use anymore? Is it quitting making art?

Assume it's oils you're giving up on, rather than the other media (acrylic especially). Oddly enough, if I had to give any medium up it wouldn't be oil, unless idiot regulation makes it entirely impossible to obtain lead white, in which case they'd be no serious point in continuing with it: bureaucracy would have killed it. (Expatiation on this point is available, but I wouldn't bother if I were you: it boils down to my liking lead, hating nannying, and knowing that the long-term future of oil paint depends on using the right materials and not relying on future conservators to work miracles: although as my work won't be worth conserving, probably, why should I worry? Monday morning, you see: full grouch mode in place - I hate Mondays...even now I don't really have to acknowledge them.) But enough of me! (What an absurd thought....) and back to you. What happened to cause you to make a present of all your oil painting materials to a mate? We all hit patches where we wonder if everything we ever learned hasn't deserted us - I did, a while back, and not just with oil paint. I know you have coordination problems .... was that it? Anyway - unless you go out and buy a whole new set of equipment you've probably been and gone and done it now, because doing that will set you back a few hundred quid if you do it all at once. All the more energy and commitment to be devoted to acrylics then, we hope!
