      Agree 100%. I will make note of this painter. I love the starry night of van gogh. His style and technique brings the picture into som sort of a live image. I feel the same with this one. Obviously an original van gogh are not an option. But this Cortes might be. Just wonderful :)

      @ekimshield I've studied Kinkade’s work from when he was a teenager. He had the chops. Like him or not (I like him, too), he did what no artist has done since Leonardo. The book, ”Billion Dollar Painter” is remarkable. It's heartbreaking how things turned out, but it doesn't negate what he accomplished.
