When I was taking my first bite of it I realized that it had an empty pocket inside of it so when I was going to eat it again, I got caught up with curiosity and was wondering what it looked like when applying a little bit of pressure to it and to my surprise the reflected light from it scatters and creates a matte like effect only to become more gloss like when applying less pressure to the toffee.

Question: can a shape of an object affect the light hitting its surface?

I’ve only realized it now that the painting is a mixed media one, which now confuses me as how the process is done. But two questions that comes to mind:

1. Did Mark Rothko used different pigments only on certain art medium’s in question or were the pigments used on all mediums?

2. Is there a list of pigments that he used when creating this painting in particular?

I like it when a contrail meets a certain corner from a building. Even if Contrails are artificial clouds, they still look cool nonetheless!

The three photos were captured back September 2025 (26th to the 28th). The first image is from the 28th and the third image is from the 26th.

Especially for the palm trees in the picture on the second image.

I wanted to paint this in a alla prima or spontaneous way. Any suggestions on which part of the composition comes first and which part comes last?

The first image was purely improvised because I was trying to experiment with the colors that I recently purchased. And during the process it turned into a figurative piece of some sort.

I didn't change the name of it or whatever, it was even more funnier the way Marnie says.

I can’t help but feel a sense of wonder and fascination that when Gota moved into his two storey house outside of Madrid (Quinta del Sordo (Deaf Man's Villa)) in 1819, it was also the same year that Beethoven began working on his Missa Solemnis work on the spring of 1819 (a period that lasted about four years).
To think that Goya probably worked on the paintings between 1820 - 1823, Beethoven was working on his composition between 1819 - 1823.
Just only a years difference.

I just love how seemingly two different events from two different places by two different people was happening simultaneously!

Link about Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis

Aside from hue differences, is there any way to know if the half pans that I am using are actually the professional ones instead of the Cotman? Like for example if I have a Prussian blue half pan but I don’t know if it is a Cotman or not, how would I know it by judging the description info from the side of the half pans?

Quick sketch I made today after I’ve heard of Sonny Rollins passing.

I didn't know WatchMojo could be this salty ;)
