I regularly make reference to art history in my work, both directly and indirectly, and my composition notebooks uncover just how often my ideas are sparked by my constant looking back.
Hand also raised for the Top Ten list!! I love this post so much - it's so fun to learn more about art history through your eyes and see the million little notes and details that made it into your work. And somehow I had never seen that painting by Goya! Truly terrifying...in the best way.
I enjoyed reading about the puzzle of loving and trying to marry these seemingly unrelated things. I feel like the Manikin figure is saying something about it all. In the picture, or in my head, he’s stuck in space. He’s in between. Maybe ideas can be like this too. Either way, I’m relating to it somehow. Thanks for sharing this strange and unresolved pairing.
Yes please for the Top Ten Paintings of All Time list!!

Your knowledge and explanation of art history is a wonderful learning experience for me. Please tell us more. Also, I love your prayer.
