I love the way you write about light and how you describe the way paint moves your eye through a painting. The way you’ve pulled the highlights to really demonstrate your point is brilliant. Thank you for another great lesson!

If you choose to copy the Rembrandt, think about it is almost like he is whispering in your ear, and giving you suggestions once in a while.

I absolutely just love that idea. made me smile. My favorite all time painter is Gustav Klimt. and I often have pretended while painting (since his work inspires all my paintings) That he is looking over my shoulder, just observing.

Michael, thank you for the lesson in art. Your love for what you do resonates strongly through your writing. I love how you apply tricks of artist magic to manipulate light to produce the perception of movement. It’s an optical illusion in a lot of ways, right? Thank you again! 💫🤗💞
