Messing around with watercolors– Caravaggio by Ottavio Leoni, 1621
Caravaggio by Ottavio Leoni, 1601 Watercolor I painted this using Leoni’s portrait of Carravaggio. He was 31 at the time. He died 9 years later, a victim of his propensity for violence. Her revolutionized painting with his observation of the subject together with a dramatic use of chiaroscuro, intense contrasts of light and dark. This came to be known as tenebrism, where the darks are a dominant feature of the piece.

Big drawing on Fabriano sketch paper 42 x 60 cm While just about recovering from a mild round of Covid 19. I think the vaxes and booster did some good. Docs gave me some antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. Back to normal in two days.

Art from Poland
The Poles are very supportive of the millions of Ukrainian refugees. Poland is a country with a long trouble history of occupation, most recently by the the de-facto occupation by the Russians. They do not want the Russians back either. There are some disturbing anti-democratic developments in Poland. I do not know how Russia’s actions might effect the situation in Poland in regard to this. However the Russian invasion reveals in part the effects of authoritarian rule.

Art from Kiev
These are my paintings made from our visit to Kiev several years ago. The determination to be democratically ruled and independent was obvious from its extensive exhibit of the 2014 uprising. Its architecture is a world treasure. I can only hope that they come out on top of this terrible war with the Russian effort to go after civilians. This effort is another affirmation to its people that it must never again be part of Russia.
