Often, these are very contrived whereas this one has a certain measure of authenticity to it (the pose of the soldier in the back with the concierge is especially nice).Tyler Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171434906811033069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-30555416912171762522010-09-03T14:55:33.028-04:002010-09-03T14:55:33.028-04:00Good word.

Too often the formula of reading an image for most people consists of initially glancing at the image, looking at the placard, looking back at the image for a couple minutes, and then deciding if it pleases.Stephen Southerlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852129048296673562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-247383285105716512010-09-03T14:48:15.074-04:002010-09-03T14:48:15.074-04:00Love paintings that tell a story and that draw you...Love paintings that tell a story and that draw you in to find the clues to the story.Mary Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718356993209078250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-59222911446265082182010-09-03T13:12:25.445-04:002010-09-03T13:12:25.445-04:00Great painting! - and the comments add to it!

I've had several people stop by and say that they found me via your blog. I really appreciate that.<br /><br />(I also have a past with ACCD, '77-'78. I was there five trimesters before I ran out of funds and moved back to N. Cal. It's still paying off...) <br /><br />Anyway... thanks again. Marc HansonMarc R.
