What an amazing painter! I agree with you about the New York workers piece - their body language is spot on!!

Also, I love the form of your article, Amy. The parenthetical “asides” truly make me feel like I’m in the room, and your proposed menu at the end is just brilliant. Kudos, and thanks!!

Thanks Michelle! I'm glad you like the asides and hope they add something and occasionally amuse.

Kyle's favorite painting of the roses is masterful and riveting. It could easily have me standing in front of it for several minutes and losing a sense of time. His work is warm and enticing. I loved the interview. It gave the artist plenty of room to speak in great depth, which he seems to enjoy. His words are as expressive as his work! Great interview!

Kyle Ma is so young. The painting with the cows is stunning. I'm a big fan of the Joan of Arc painting at the Met with its magical lighting. Thanks for another great interview!

I always learn a lot from seeing the work that painters are inspired by, and the two the Kyle mentioned spoke volumes. Now I want to go back to the Met and see Joan of Arc again!
