in truth, the other comments expressed all that I was going to write, so I don't want to be repetitive, except that it begs to mention that the emerald painting in the background is beyond stunning! It's fitting to the subject matter being discussed for the grandiose setting of the subject matter that the painting projects. Very entertaining to know about Whistler's muse, and the idea of his art being Avante-Garde, but it only highlights how lucky we are to live in this age! Your story telling is captivating aided by the passion you bring and show. This was another brilliant episode. thank you.

Hi Jessie! It's been a while since I have been able to watch one of your videos due to being bombarded by college finals, but I can't wait to catch up with your work. Congratulations on your exhibition piece! That is so exciting. You deserve it! Over the past semester, I have been reminded of the importance of verbal communication with the physicality of art itself. I often think we can sort of default to solely viewing art for its beautiful objectivity that we lose the process of analysis to which we ascribe meaning. Therefore, I love that you constantly seek to study art as a way to sort of unveil the mind of the artist. In this video, in particular, your love of art and Whistler's work overflows. Once again, thanks for sharing your knowledge and artistic process!

Found it difficult to listen to you talk about Whistler because by golly your emerald painting.... The luminous light you've captured is stunning. Have you spoken about how you convey light in your paintings? Congrats on the exhibition. Think I'll make a trip to RA. You always inspire me to dive deeper.
