Exquisite details in this painting. So many tiny strokes of perfection. Today is Guess the Artist day… I can narrow it down for you some. I took this photo at the Detroit Institute of Artist (DIA) in Detroit, MI last year. Can you guess who the artist is? Bonus if you know the title as well… Comment on this post or via social media. Good luck!
This week’s painting may be a bit tougher than last week – were you able to guess? Were you right? 🙌 If not, see below for the answer…
