His work is incredible. I think I saw him featured on LOGO channel at some point last year and wished I could see his work in person.

It's entirely possible that you see him on Logo Channel, he is quite famous in the gay community and not only. I love Caravaggio and Reni, and so I love also his works. Elisa

OMG they're magnificent. They are mesmerising, there's a fabulous luminous quality to them. And what a delightful coincidence, just after I mentioned the Caravaggio connection to you from my latest story *lol*. Caravaggio and Rubens are two of my favorite painting styles.

You find the most fabulous art.

Yes, you are right, we spoke of Caravaggio recently... maybe it stucks to my mind and drove my choice ;-) Elisa

Thank you for the review and for the lovely comments, Ross will be flattered.
