in gratitude for the old masters,

hi there dear readers, i would like to share with you the gratitude in my heart for the old masters , i learned so much from painting and drawings some studies in my studio, so great teachers , when you make a study after Michelangelo for example, you really being able to feel deeper the old master intentions in the painting and learn from it. part of my development as an artist was and is making a lot of study drawing and paintings in my studio after the old masters, the intention is not so much to just copy a picture , but rather learning with humility of an eternal student, that say every day anew,i do not know anything , and i am willing to learn , with the eyes of a child , fresh new every day , a new beginning, this is the gift that art is given you , always fresh new things to learn , and learning from the old masters , being inspired, and yet going your own way in art , your authentic way that develops naturally ,
the study is in pastel , done in my studio, after Michelangelo, the Delphic sibyl , the Sistine chapel
