Who wouldn't want to paint?













Here are a couple of details from the Getty Center. One is a Chardin still life detail from the 18th century and the other is a detail from James Ensor's Christ's Entry into Brussels from the late 19th century. Both are exciting painterly close ups and both could inspire you to become a painter if you aren't already. I think one is about the masterly qualities of light and form and the other is expressionism unleashed. Between the two, they give you some great choices and pinnacles to reach.
