The Artist
Picture a Mekubal who creates by means of Sheimos Hakedoshim.

L'havdil a magician ( like the fellow in masechet Sanhedrin who produces cucumbers) who says "abracadabra" and "pooof" a painting appears.

Let your imagination reign. The main point is that the painting is not an external representation (concretization) of an internal image resulting from its creator's character.

The Artist
You spoke of two artists, once who has a style that can be emulated and one who can just create anything, hence there is no style or method that can me copied and learnt from the painting itself, since the painting itself does not express his skill, it is only he is capableof everything.

I did not understand your metaphor. Who ever heard of such an artist who can just create anything?

And if indeed there is no such metaphor, what did you gain by bringing it, you could have just said that Hashem can create anything? What depth and or wisdom did you confer on us from your metaphor?

Thanks very much for the classses. I appreciate them very much, especially all of the practical metaphors.
