Thank you to all who added their comments last week. One hundred percent thought the titles should be painted in... easier said than done.
Did you catch the broken glasses I am wearing. ($1.50 magnifying glasses from the grocery store). I am scratching into the paint with a quill pen.

Then visit the Rijksmuseum and scroll down to a still life by Jan van Huysum(click the link)

keep zooming in to find the bugs crawling all over the painting.
I love this site.I can't believe the detail!....and I don't need my glasses.
Meanwhile back at the easel...I've started adding the titles. The one leaning on the left was supposed to be "The scarlet Letter" but I don't think it goes with the painting so I am looking for a different one... Any suggestions?
By the way thanks to Amy Mann's comment last week. She spotted that the mahl stick Rembrandt is holding was at a perfect 90 degree angle to the book. I agree it was too distracting. Imagine the nerve I have changing Rembrandt's work...
One more title!...then clean up and I think ...finished.

Amazing! Your skill on small details is over the top, Peter. I am so impressed. Love the theme and composition, too!
I'm curious about the quill pen "scratching into the paint." Any chance you would fill me in on how you did those titles?
Thanks for sharing your work..I always enjoy coming to your blog!
LOL! Thanks for not being offended by my comment! I love your work, and this is a gem of a little painting.
Good post and good painting. It has old bookshop atmosphere. Rembrandt may be rolling over in his grave, or maybe he's thinking you've improved his work. A guy as old as he is should be glad he's still paintable.

I love it!! It's got that warm, read-by-the-fire feel. Try Alexander Pope for the book title. Then you'll have a representative from 4 centuries in a row: Shakespeare 1500s, Vermeer 1600s, Pope 1700s, Dickens 1800s.
yes, that makes it sing. A blend of artwork and written word; well done
