Hi Richard,

Actually, Robert Doak, M.Graham, Old Holland, Vasari, Michael Harding were all included in those reviews, just on a different page. Vasari and Michael Harding were amongst the very highest rated. I thought that myself about certain, more available, paints such as Windsor Newton being skewed. I was basing the reviews not on the star system but on the written reviews of the users. (Viewers have to scroll down quite a bit to find them, not the most organized web page.) Quite a few of the Michael Harding reviews specifically compares them to other brands, which I appreciated. One always has to judge how wise the source is no matter what product you are researching. It is just an opinion after all. I actually mentioned the product review because I noticed how skimpy some of the reviews were and thought that some people on this website may want to share their expertise on the rating system. It is useful information for any artist searching the web and I did not see another rating system like it on any other website (hint?) but I am not experienced enough to contribute. It might encourage other artist to upgrade as it did me. I just placed my order for MH paints and my credit card is smoking!

-Amanda
