Hi Brenda Greer, I have a passion for Art, it is Zest for life. I truly feel that MichaelAngelo really contributed in the Italian Art World, and it has been a long time since I touched based on this issue. I love Art and I am a huge fan of Caravaggio- the painter in the 17th century. Caravaggio's line, direction, composition was breath-taking espeically with the Roman Catholic paintings of the White Stallions. However I do like oil, and acrylic paint, how he used the color and texture with his paint brushes...and other tools. Thanks 4 Sharing, Dressage

I am quite embarrased to confess that I am not famaliar with the artist that you mentioned. However, it sounds like his art is amazing as well! Have you been to Italy? If not you will absolutely fall in love with it. It is so rich in the arts. I seen that you were standing beside a horse, I absolutely love horses!! By the way are by any chance from Japan? I find different cultures quite interesting.
