7733. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 3:04:38 AM Thanks Judith, any favs? 7734. SnowOwl - 1/29/2005 8:23:42 AM They're all beautiful.
If I had to pick I might choose Rainy Day in Venice, but it would be very difficult to find a favourite. 7735. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 4:12:26 PM Thank you SnowOwl, I appreciate the input. 7736. Magoseph - 1/29/2005 4:13:00 PM Every picture of the Visions of Italy series reminds me of old provençal villages. Farm Fields with Sun Glints and Hilltop Farm With Sunlit View are my favorite—I like the way light, sheen, skin and brass tones are rendered in Whiz’s work. 7737. judithathome - 1/29/2005 8:13:36 PM I like the farm pieces, especially after the rain.
But if I were able, I'd buy them all! 7738. wabbit - 1/29/2005 8:22:14 PM Ooooh...
Difficult to pick favorites, but I think mine would be Farm, Early Evening and Hilltop Farm With Sunlit View 7739. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 8:52:36 PM Were back up!
Thanks for the feedback, all - I truly appreciate it. I'm trying to cull and decide which ones to make bigger. The farm fields and Monterrenti are larger than the first studies, but I'm having trouble deciding too.
Should I cut the San Gimignano pieces or improve and refine them? I vividly recall the feeling of walking her dark and cool streets while looking above to the entirely different world of those medieval skyscrapers.
Moreover, I haven't a clue about how Italians will perceive the work - I mean: is it a vision just for the touristas by a tourista or does it capture what they feel too?
France or Italy it's all medieval, I guess. I hate this part of putting a show together. I love the studio and abhor everything else. Nevertheless, more is coming - Venice, Sienna, Umbria, Rome. Pompeii and Sicily. Please bear with me. Or should I say bare with me. I'm on fire and I can't stop!!! 7740. wonkers2 - 1/29/2005 9:50:21 PM Nice stuff, WoW! 7741. arkymalarky - 1/29/2005 10:06:57 PM If my turtle-connection and difficult isp ever straighten up I'll have a look. My computer curls up at pdf for some reason. 7742. arkymalarky - 1/29/2005 10:08:00 PM Man, it really sounds great. 7743. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 10:38:20 PM Thanks wonk, how are the matrimonial obligations going?
ark- the PDFs are about 1.5 megs each so if you don't have a lot of ram, it may be impossible to load. I'll send you a postcard. 7744. arkymalarky - 1/29/2005 11:31:57 PM What a sweetheart! Thanks Wiz! 7745. wonkers2 - 1/30/2005 1:09:56 AM So far, so good. 7746. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/30/2005 8:46:19 PM wonk- There is a show on BBC America called: The Kumars At No. 42 that is both a hoot and informative in ways I think you'd appreciate.
7747. Macnas - 1/31/2005 11:39:08 AM Kumars is a good show, gets a bit tired after a few episodes but better than a lot of television these days. 7748. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/31/2005 6:45:07 PM I agree Mac, but it's still interesting from a cultural point of view in that it would broaden wonk's experience and help wrt his future in-laws. I enjoy their sense of humor and getting to know what makes people laugh is the best kind of info when encountering a new culture. 7749. wonkers2 - 1/31/2005 7:50:35 PM Thanks. I'll see if its available on my local Comcast cable. 7750. judithathome - 2/11/2005 5:52:48 PM Arthur Miller...RIP 7751. uzmakk - 2/13/2005 3:51:34 PM Was going to post this in the Cafe, but decided to post here instead. I address this to all, but Pelle in particular since I know that The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was on his "must read" list. I finished the thing(audio) about a week ago. I felt subtle elation afterwards -- like finishing the Lord of the Rings which I also read over a period of years. (Purchased the Two Towers when I was in 6th grade, so entered the experience sideways)
I have no electronic media except for stereo componet system in the living part of the house any longer and must come to the basement for my fix. I read upstairs.
Have read DOING OUR OWN THING by McWhorter recently and recommend it. Lots of references to popular culture and gay piano bars.
Also am reading Isaiah Berlin, THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND.
Other things too, but I mention these.
By the way, to all of you who have responded to my "drive by posts" I thank you and apologize for my lack of manners. 7752. wonkers2 - 2/13/2005 5:39:35 PM "Attention Must Be Paid" by David Mamet Here.
