I really love your explanation for Icarus Landing and how the popular image of Jesus on a cross shown in many sculptures inspired your painting! The subject in Icarus Landing is ethereally presented; reminding me of the divine. 💫✨

From reading this article and studying the different sculptures I believe this would also be a good study for dance choreographers! Thank you Michael, I always learn so much from you! 🖼 🎨 🥰

Icarus is a phenomenally gorgeous work!

Your pro tip of viewing works in thumbnail is terrific. Even with my ceramic work, I use this strategy to identify/understand my better works (and images of the works). I admire this focus on the basic structure of essential composition. It’s almost a conversation of architecture.
