My favorite Russian painter who, inexplicably seems to be largely underappreciated in the West.

I spent a half an hour looking at
the brush strokes of
Agony in the Garden,by El Greco
at the Toledo Museum of Art.
Just amazing!

After coming home from WW2, my father wandered around aimlessly for a while. He studied art under Robert Brackman at the Art Students League in NYC in the mid 50's. For those not familiar, he did a lot of still life oil on canvas.
My dad's style was spot on when compared to Brackman. My entire childhood included a stretched canvas on an easel in various stages of completion. He often set up scenes to paint. More often, he would take inspiration from any of a number of masters, and create his own works from something he saw in one of his numerous art books.
This is a Dutch seascape from Jacob Van Ruisdael.

This is my cat Casey. In the background, you can see a piece my dad did in the '70's.

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
