[Rinnwald]

The safety strap in Elizabeth Gardner’s #19 is a nice touch. Is it sexist to say a woman would be concerned about a baby floating down a river?

[No name given]

These paintings are just beautiful like our beautiful great God!

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is realistic to recognize that a mother's love is unmatched.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are definitely on His cheerleading squad.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Some fabulous favorites in this collection….you really saved it up for the big ending with Alma-Tadema and He Qi, but there was a lot that preceded that, Tissot really shined with this subject-matter once again.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Agree fully.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Solomon, Gardner, Feuerbach, Mola, Goodall and Siemiradzki all deserve a call out along with Tissot, He Qi and Alma-Tadema.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Our cup runneth over....

Thanks, Scott.

[Hebrews 11:6]

By the way, I’ve noticed that Siemiradzki seems to enjoy including sun-dappled partial shade.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

His use of light and shadow makes his bold colors jump out, it’s the first thing that attracts the eye. This particular painting would likely be unremarkable except that his colors are so spectacular that it elevates everything.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Flavitsky does this too…and to very good effect.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well-spotted. Handling shadows capably must be difficult, judging by the seeming reluctance of so many to attempt it.
