/// Rembrandt here In His Studio frowns.
His finances had “ups,” (mostly “downs”).
Artists— though greatly skilled—
for oil paint will be billed.
“Second Notice” for Black and Dark Browns.
/// “People often will come right up to me
just to say that my palette is ‘gloomy.’
Yes, my paintings are stark
and the backgrounds are dark,
but that’s no reason merchants should screw me!”
/// I could paint scenes all pink, white and yellow
if my moods were bright, sunny and mellow.
But they set prices high
on the dark colors I
choose to use as a proper Dutch fellow.”
