I'm glad you delurked, Alex! I agree with you about La Grande Jatte. A few
years ago, the Phoenix Art Museum had an exhibition of Impressionist
paintings. I loved it, but in particular one painting Monet did of the
Japanese bridge in his gardens. I wanted to stand on that bridge.
Another of mine is Childe Hassam's "Boston Common at Twilight." I've always
wanted to join that mother and child feeding the birds in the snowy park.

I'll have to search out "Boston Common at Twilight" to refresh my
memory. Great art is a passion of mine (one of many). I too
enjoy Claude Monet's work. He did several paintings of that bridge in his
garden.
Just one more... Caspar David Friedrich's "The Solitary Tree". I'd
love to walk into that painting.
As far as delurking goes, I've enjoyed the regular posters on this
group but find many of the posts somewhat annoying (cheap
solicitations, Russian girls at 900 numbers etc.). I've responded
(perhaps naively) to some requests for penpals only to find a
mailbox full of spam the next day.
Skye, I must compliment you on your wealth of source material.
I have this vision of you at a computer, surrounded by a vast array
of books on just about any subject matter, pondering what to share with the
group next. Is that a cat or a dog I see curled up on the rug beside you?

Sorry Skye, I was stationed at Ft.Devens from 72-74 and enjoyed the
Commons several times........but no way do you want to be in that
area after the sun went down!!!

Since we're talking art, how's this----the "painting" hanging over the
fireplace is of Mickey Mouse in a big comfy chair by a roaring fire. He's
reading a book and scratching Pluto's ears. <G> I've got Van Gogh's Starry
Night and Waterhouse's Lady of Shalott and others elsewhere in the house. My
house is full of books on many subjects. I have one friend who loves to come
over and sit on the floor in front of one row of shelves and just pull out
books at random to read. She says it's her favorite library...everything
categorized and easy to find! I must admit to pulling out a book to share
something with the folks here when it seems to be getting a tad dull!
If you feel like talking more, just send me a line. I swear I don't have a
900 number, and I hate spam!

Party pooper!! I'm talking about joining them in the park in the era in
which it was painted. Might've been a tad safer in the 1890's or so!!

Ive the large hard-bound with all three vol's. Now if you want to
round out that area... recommend several book by Arland O. Fiske. He
has about 8 books(paper) of short stories about everyday life, to
scandi history, to historical figures. Another one is about
Scandi Life/beliefs/folk tails. There is a story about some people
who moved from Voss county into Bergen, rentd an apt. The tentent
downstairs complained about water dripping from the ceiling, and
they discovered that the Voss' people were growing potatoes on
the floor......

Reminds me of Grampa taking me to the Legion Hall when I was a kid and all
those "old guys" teaching me poker. Best piece of advice: check the lighting
and take off your glasses so they don't reflect your hand! From there we
moved on to the family Saturday Night Pinochle Game. Poor Mom was always
saddled with my Grandmother, who couldn't play cards if her life depended on
it. Grampa and I always cleaned them out. 'course, if Mom and Grampa had
been a team, I'd never've been able to climb out of the hole! Ah, memories!

There is a lovely painting done by Hughes, depicting a female in the midst of a
magic fairy ring, chatting with the little people....entrancing and
other-worldly

Hahahahaha....I love it!!! I'm dying from the laughter. 50 lashes!!!!! Actually,
that's the picture I would have chosen too. I would have given anything to
actually have been there.

I would choose the picture on the wall in Jean Luke Picard's ready room - I
would enjoy walking onto the bridge of the Enterprise about 400 years from now.
