Finished my book

I am done with my book.  I really liked it.  I liked the fact that Rembrandt never lost his ability to be an amazing artist even after all of his life troubles.  It is encouraging to me.

I like his art because there is a nice balance of light in it.  My favorite painting of his is this one called  The Night Watch.

Another one I like because of it's sheer truthfulness is The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp.

I am beginning to understand that you can use different colors, yellows especially, to create light and shadows.  The light in paintings make them more 3D.  I think that is cool because the 3d paintings really are flat.  The illusion is created with colors.
