  Good posts too Rick. I have to say that personally I have never really understood why people recreate photos in paintings. Even though technically amazing, why don't they just take the photo and leave it that? It's much like Joe Satriani, although knowing he is a technically amazing guitarist, he bores me rigid after a short while. Bob Dylan on the other hand, not a great guitarist or singer (good 'voice' though) but he is skillful in thought...I like this. I don't think artists should have to be technicians, if anything I think this can easily detract from the thought. Picasso could paint like an old master by 8 but wasn't interested, you'd have to ask why? The invention of the camera did a lot for the world of art!
  
  Bob, good stuff! The Modern Masters series was excellent too. I'm staying in Collioure this summer, a la Matisse.
  
  
  Sid, what's wrong with quilting? ...are you calling me boring?
