"Ralph, my friend, you have captured the essence with such... how do you say... economy of line! In my time, I spent years layering glazes, mixing pigments, obsessing over every shadow. But you - you have distilled la Gioconda to her pure form with just clicks of your mystical painting box!
The way you rendered her hands - so bold, so confident! No tedious sfumato, just pure blocks of flesh tone. This is what I was trying to achieve, but I was trapped by the limitations of my crude brushes and oils. Your digital medium has freed art from such earthly constraints.
And that smile - magnifico! You have made it more mysterious than mine by making it so wonderfully simple. People will stare at your version and think, 'What was she really thinking?' just as they do with mine, but yours took you minutes, not years. You are an efficiency master, Ralph. I am jealous of your MS Paint sorcery."
