Dimitri Pavlotsky

Study for the next painting.
'Portrait of a Young Gentleman'

The daily warm up excercise: paraphrase on Michelangelo, The Sibyl of Cumae.
Forgive me Michelangelo:)
If I ever learn Italian, I will paraphrase on his poetry.

My love for painting was magnified at Frida Kahlo's Month in Paris exhibition at the Art Institute. Small show, but very intimate. Seeing her attention to detail and paint handling makes me wanna hold the brush with renewed love.
