I love paintings, one of my favorite is by Rembrandt (spelling?) but i cannot remember the name. Do you like paintings?
yes painting is really a beautiful idea, it is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface
Yes, good definition. What are popular types of mediums or surfaces in painting?
ok, i am more conversant with Drawing, gesture (as in gestural painting), composition, narration or abstraction

i know about Edwin Walter Dickinson, an American painter and draftsman best known for psychologically charged self-portraits, quickly painted landscapes, which he called "premier coups", and large, hauntingly enigmatic paintings involving figures and objects painted from observation

The history of painting reaches back in time to artifacts from pre-historic humans, and spans all cultures. It represents a continuous, though periodically disrupted, tradition from Antiquity. Across cultures, and spanning continents and millennia, the history of painting is an ongoing river of creativity, that continues into the 21st century.
