Suddenly I am having a wee bit of trouble with my respiratory system. Oh dear.

Ah. That's wonderful.

Poor Vincent: Yellow is one of those colors a painter who defied traditional shading methods would struggle to deal with, when trying to show light.

Hmm. I'm not sure I understand what you mean? But I'd be interested to hear more! (My art knowledge is quite limited.)

I'll have to brush up on my Art History terms and history period, but I did take Post Impressionist class once upon a time, somewhere-- OMgosh two decades now ( ... )

That's great; thank you! I'd never considered that about the color yellow before, but it makes sense; it changes too easily.

I had a copy of an issue of National Geographic that had an article about the cleaning of the Sistine Chapel; it was amazing. I read it a bunch of times when I was younger--although now all I really remember is the vibrant color on the page.
