A New Portrait Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every time I open an art book, I learn something new and am inspired to create something new. I return to my collection of art books again and again for inspiration. Recently, I taught a workshop at my studio on Rembrandt and the kind of light he used in his paintings as it translates to photography. I surrounded myself with art books in order to prepare for the workshop. Inspiration comes from other places, too.

“Portrait of a Lady” by Bernardino Licinio; “Mary Magdalene Holding the Unguent Jar,” by an artist or group of artists known as \u201cThe Master of the Female Half Length,” and “Catherine Howard,” by Hans Holbein the Younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
