  5. Hi Scott,
    Thank you so much, and I enjoyed your letter about your retirement. I too used to email with you about questions on the Golden paint products and remember all your excellent help over the years. I lived in Hamilton, NY, from 1988 – 2002 and knew Mark and Barbara well and used to pick up my Golden Paint orders on their front porch in Earlville. We have stayed in touch a bit by email, and now I am living in northern CA, Santa Rosa, and still doing art and projects around the world. My work these days tends to be more temporary outdoor installations that are bio-degradable and changing over time, but I still use Golden paints and gels for my indoor works and gallery-type pieces. Anyway, my best wishes for a happy retirement and say hello to all at Golden Paint for me,
    Jane

Thanks for that, Scott, and for the help you and the Golden tech team give to fellow painters – including those of us who don’t even work in acrylics, but other mediums! Such a generous and knowledgeable company. Happy travels in all that lies ahead for you. Koo Schadler

  10. Ah Scott…. so good to read your thoughts and so sweet to have shared so much of my journey at Golden with you. Retirement is its own unique venture, as I continue to discover, but the one you are now leaving….well….you made it special for so many of us in so many ways. Thank you for your friendship and for the depth of feeling you have infused into paint with your touch and even more amazing eye for color. Safe travels in life my friend…sending much gratitude and love

  11. Thank you, Mr. Scott Bennett.

    I’m sorry I’m late with this news. You don’t know me, I’m just a silent fan. I am a long-time reader of Just Paint and I have become familiar with your name through your writings.

    I once wrote to Golden in 2021 via email about some technical questions about Golden products, and it was Scott who answered me. It was a long email and I had a lot of questions, yet he patiently wrote down a long and thorough reply. That experience plus JustPaint. org, left a lasting impression on me of Golden’s rich technical expertise and generosity in sharing their knowledge freely to the art world. For me, that was the culture of Golden that I admired.

    I truly appreciate your work. You have made a significant contribution to the art community. It is a good legacy to be proud of.

    Congratulations on your retirement! I wish you all the best.
