Fellowship of Masters

Works of art in the medium of oil portraiture & landscape as created by the great Russian masters have given me tremendous inspiration in recent years. The ability to capture the depth of humanity and the beauty of nature as depicted by artists Ivan Kramskoy, Ilya Repin, Alexander Ivanov and Valentin Serov, to name a few, should serve as model for any aspiring painter. Not being a painter myself, I can only ask that the spirit of these masters visit me often in my time of musical reflection...and guide me.
