Highlights from the discussion

The Ferris Bueller painting! I know it is so much more than that, but that scene of Cameron staring at the little girl is what got me into art as a kid. Now I bring my own kids to see it.

Two years of his life, tiny dot by tiny dot. I think about that every time I get impatient with a project at work.

Nobody in this painting is looking at anyone else. A park full of people, all alone together. It feels very modern for 1886.

It works the opposite way in person though. You back up and the whole Sunday afternoon assembles itself out of nothing. Magic.

Same scene lives in my head. The closer he looks, the less there is — just dots. It still gives me chills.
