Original artwork description:

If we can say that the third time is a charm, then this is the painting to apply it to! I have photographs of three finished version of this painting. I should give up ever thinking that I can just tweak one little thing. That is what happened to the first version. I was just going to change one little cloud shape, and then bam! It was all changed. The nice thing about so many layers of paint is that you get a sense of those layers glowing through. That is why we love Rembrandt: he painted with layers and layers of transparent paint, so that his paintings seem lit from within. Of course, I can only believe that he did that intentionally!
