If it is Monday then it must be time for my latest art class and I was genuinely surprised, no that makes me sound arrogant,  but certainly informed.  Not by the class itself but the discussion about art history.  It all revolved around my understanding of the influence of Titian on Hans Holbein the younger.  I have always thought that Holbein was far more of a Northern renaissance artist artest rather than one how came under the influence of the Italian renaissance and in particular Titian .   Well after the class I went away and hit the books and   it turns out that Titian really did have far greater influence on Holbein than I thought.   So that made the class worth while (it is always satisfying to learn something new). If only the same could be said about the painting  as it stands – however I have next week to improve things – lets hope it  does the trick.
