8: The Master's Hands

It's just the story of a young man, barely more than a boy, and a small piece of wood that he may or may not have painted.

4: Over Your Head

This story isn't about a painting, or a sculpture, or a vase, or a váse, or a photograph. It's about... well, I'll let you listen for yourself.

3: Shipwrecks and Ruins

There is so much being accomplished by this master painter in this masterpiece that needs so little explanation. But while I am of the opinion that there is no problem with this painting, there is a problem with its story.
