The play 33 Variations, which is about Beethoven, focuses on this aspect of his attitude and if you ever get the chance to see it you must. It's almost as excellent as your work ;)Caroline Peña Brayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518853222220324027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-50797865366605146502010-04-28T01:35:03.893-06:002010-04-28T01:35:03.893-06:00Dear Master,

I read somewhere that you use a light bulb with blue foil in front of it for painting. The light in this painting seems warmer though. Did you use a source of another color, or just paint other colors from imagination?<br /><br />kind regards<br /><br />jos van riswickJVRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650362716576043890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-37464191803590261692010-04-28T00:05:49.622-06:002010-04-28T00:05:49.622-06:00Cantaloupe Afterglow in my mind now...Cantaloupe Afterglow in my mind now...RUDHI Rüscherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208980934674307812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-12510473867397485092010-04-27T21:55:56.283-06:002010-04-27T21:55:56.283-06:00this has such a great mood with the glow and black...this has such a great mood with the glow and black background..love the Beethoven quoteKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-27150003335835740192010-04-27T20:49:38.291-06:002010-04-27T20:49:38.291-06:00This is a beautiful piece, Qiang.
