    This blog documents the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled to three U.S. cities in 2006-07. During June of 2007, all eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries, while the Rembrandt exhibit debuted its three-month stay at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon. Read the documentation and see all finished works of this year-long project in the August 2006 through June 2007 entries on this blog.
