948. jonesatlaw - 2/1/2000 1:12:56 PM sakonige- thank you for the art, I enjoy it. I have loved the art of the southwest and plains for years. I had little old aunties who had taught in mission schools in the twenties and thirties. They were Irish Catholics who went off to transform the lives of Indian children in the name of Catholicism, and came home transformed themselves. They kept art done by their students and by local artists as treasures and shared them with me as a child. It made me something of a snob when it comes to Native American art. I don't enjoy lots of what is popular with "european" collectors, but love the stuff that is firmly rooted in the traditions, even if it goes far beyond them. What you've posted are really wonderful works from any perspective. 949. PelleNilsson - 2/1/2000 2:35:02 PM sakonige
It is beutiful. But why post it here when there is an Arts thread? 950. Candide - 2/1/2000 2:40:25 PM PelleNilsson
It's sometimes a little bit hard to get heard when talking about timeless things on the art thread. That's not a criticism. Just a fact. 951. cmboyce - 2/1/2000 3:16:07 PM Sakonige, that's great!
Pelle, I took it as a fine riposte to the preceding crap. 952. PelleNilsson - 2/1/2000 3:18:44 PM cm
Seen in that light (which I didn't), yes, very good. 953. IrvingSnodgrass - 2/1/2000 3:19:19 PM Pelle... sakonige always made the Test thread her home in the old place, so this thread is fitting. 954. Candide - 2/1/2000 7:51:32 PM And after studying the nature of the wonderful images, I wish I'd expressed myself in a more contained manner.
It is beautiful.
Pelle, I don't think you ever found my post to you in the thick of arts and music. 955. PelleNilsson - 2/1/2000 8:23:45 PM I saw it but I don't feel the need to respond to every post where Sweden or things Swedish are mentioned. 956. sakonige - 2/2/2000 2:11:57 AM PelleNilsson,
I wasn't sure how well the scanned image would display, so I thought I would try it here first. I'm surprised that the red has such a glaring, dithered quality, but lowering the color resolution of the scanned image makes the whole image grainy. The small details of curved lines like notches are obscured in the reduced, grainy picture.

Check my #1326 in Technical Issues. 958. CalGal - 2/2/2000 3:44:31 AM

960. CalGal - 2/2/2000 3:52:01 AM How does that look for people? 961. PelleNilsson - 2/2/2000 4:02:34 AM CalGal
Got you. We push the bar to the right and only the wretches with 640x480 screen will suffer and there can't be many of them.
What do your reckon max 'n' is in width='n'? (I know, I caould view source, but I'm lazy.) 962. CalGal - 2/2/2000 4:06:50 AM The Mote image is about 640, because I match it up on the front page. I'm at work, so I don't have time to find the biggest size we can handle. Still, I think it's a nice idea. We can start the thread with a post on instructions for the max width. 963. cmboyce - 2/2/2000 4:14:32 AM I have no idea what size window I have (nor what you are talking about), but I might as well be the man-in-the-street and observe that I cannot see the butterbar and have to scroll horizontally to even know it's there. Just reporting; I've no ideas about it. 964. cmboyce - 2/2/2000 4:15:30 AM And while I don't like to post and run, I must do it again, because I have to pick up the kid, at school. See you later. 965. CalGal - 2/2/2000 4:22:08 AM CM--what size screen do you have? 966. PelleNilsson - 2/2/2000 4:30:29 AM cm is clearly one of the wretches. But he can scroll right so he can locate "Home" and get out of the thread. When circumstances permit, cm, you should consider an upgrade from your current museum pieces. 967. CalGal - 2/2/2000 4:31:48 AM I just wanted to make sure it was only happening on the museum piece. If so, I agree with you--we can put in a warning.
I wonder if Sakonige would consider hosting the thread?
