Great masters

I am in awe of how the great masters painted and the pictures they created. Just saw a programme about Rembrandt. It's amazing how his brush strokes make up pictures. How seemingly smears become such beautiful paintings. It is inspiring, and it serves as a reminder of how important it is to study those who came before us. I am truly amazed!!

Sometimes I wish some of these great masters could be woken to life so they could teach me what they knew and tell me about how and why they painted. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Edvard Munch, Claude Monet, Dante Gabriel Rossi, John William Waterhouse, Turner, van Gogh among others. Would be lovely:) I would love to have a conversation with William Shakespeare too)) Wonder if there is any truth to those people who say that William Shakespeare "lend" his name to someone else... lol... Because they don't believe someone so "regular" could write such wonderful plays:) What is it with these critiques? They must be envious people...
