One of the greatest painters, well at least in my opinion, is John Singer Sargent. I have had the privilege to see a number of his works and every time I do I find myself wanting more. Unfortunately as I’m not a billionaire the chances of owning one of these gat works is nil so the best I can do is try and see as many of the paintings as I can.

This in some ways is a bucket list and one of the paintings that is highest on that list is Madame x. This painting, along with many others, are in American museums and collections. Fortunately many appear to be in and around the New York are so perhaps I’ll have to make a pilgrimage to New York. In the the mean time I’ll have to content myself by making poor copies of the original – this time using Brushes on the iPad.
