When I say Holland....
Andrew:
What a wonderful piece, David. Thank you for laying out those childhood memories for us. Now we have a little better idea where some of that sweetness and warmth comes from. And the strict standards you seem to have for yourself too!
Andrew:
Every time I come back to this picture I am amazed anew...

I love looking at paintings by the Old Masters. Aren't they beautiful? I really don't know much about art, but I certainly do appreciate it. I love to look at it.
And the Netherlands is still producing many very talented artists. I just saw some wonderful artwork last night painted by a very talented Dutchman. I thought the paintings were incredibly beautiful! :D
Edit: And now I am told the paintings aren't even finished yet! He's still working on them! :)
Verbazingwekkend!! Hoe is het mogelijk! :D
Talk about talent! Wow!!

David, can you share this artist's name? Is he currently resident in the States (and Indiana specifically)?
A little bit of trivia: Those who have seen the film A Clockwork Orange will recall the phallic sculpture with which Alex kills the Catlady. That sculpture was a pre-existing work that director Stanley Kubrick had seen exhibited in London, and rented for use in the film. The work's title is "Rocking Machine", and the artist who created it is a man from the Netherlands named Herman Makkink, who was living and working in Britain at that time. In more recent years, he has created replicas of his famous sculpture and sells them online.
