Peter Herrmann asked B.A. Shapiro:

Do you do any painting, yourself? - and if so, do you exhibit? Asking because you seem to know about technique (as well as history). I enjoyed the Muralist last year, and am mid-way through 'The Art Forger' - enjoying it (and learning much from it) it immensely.

B.A. Shapiro Hi Peter. So glad you enjoyed and are enjoying my books. And no, I'm not a painter, very little artistic talent, but I do love art and I'm a good researcher. Goes for history too. They say you should write what you know, but I like to write what I want to learn about.
