Wow!!!!!!!!   I hope this means you are inspired to paint something like that!!!

@Julianna I haven't actually watched it yet, I just put it up because Richard_P put a link to it and it didn't work 
At the moment I'm working on a sunflower, viewed from behind.

I don't get it. Is someone going to paint the young man in the video or is this some kind of performance art? I agree the lighting is fantastic @PaulB. Thanks Richard, Hop3 yoru day goes smuUthly from here.

@BOB73, watch the second video, the 40 minute one.  It's a series of recreations, beautifully choreographed.

@Richard_P
My apologies, I was trying to help but it seems I put the wrong video up
I shall remove it.

"there isn't a great painting without sanctity or something very similar" Well that's over my head. When I look at a Caravaggio, I sanctify it... again, as it is sanctified any time a person sees it and is touched by it.

Richard_P

If only we had professional models, costumes, set designers and lighting eh?

BOB73

We do. His name is Mark Carder. We don't need professional models, we have family.

Thanks @Richard_P, that was great to watch. The way the fabric was draped and caught the light was fabulous. I wonder what fabric they used for this.
