Hi Odie. Wasn't even aware of any palm reader in his life. I meant to create some unlikely mentor to have him overcome his insecurities, but hadn't done any research at all. Thanks fo the feedback, I will take it into account and craft a new Logline! Thanks so much!
I did some research in the attempt to refashion into an insecure Michelangelo meeting palm reader, paints “The fortune Teller” which gives him the self-confidence to paint the Sistine Chapel, but history showed otherwise 😉

1594 / 1595 (The Fortune Teller)
Consider adding color to this palm reader, she’s a rumored witch or town drunk.
