The few exhibits I've gone to, the paintings were small, at least an imaginable size, not far from the prints I had first seen them in. She was near life-size... her flesh and the fabric... god, the closer you got, the more real, the more alive they appeared.<br /><br />Her pose too, is so moving. I can't help but wonder, with all the symbolism those guys grew up with, if Jules was imagining Mary after receiving the news that she was carrying the saviour of the world.Steven Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251773690801692907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-60747584521329210172010-11-19T08:05:27.057-08:002010-11-19T08:05:27.057-08:00I love that painting.. never saw it except in a bo...I love that painting.. never saw it except in a book... You are lucky... Thank you for describing it so well, I almost felt like I was standing there, absorbing it...<br /><br />I know what you mean about things not working like they use to... makes me wonder what another 20 years will bring or more correctly, "Take" away.Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-8915112480054882522010-11-19T04:38:17.482-08:002010-11-19T04:38:17.482-08:00How do you open a bananna from the bottom?

The way ...I want to see a real Monet close up now! The way you described it was so vivid, so powerful that I just wished more than anything I could be there. Although, honestly, Steven, I feel like that when I read most of your writing. I just feel this urge to be there with you, seeing what you're seeing, and sharing the experiences you so carefully document. You are a Monet, of sorts, Steven, except you paint with words and stimulate the imagination. I bow to the real master of the arts!Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290515700311919367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-9750435299899385522010-11-18T18:37:15.386-08:002010-11-18T18:37:15.386-08:00oh, and I always open my banana like a monkey from...oh, and I always open my banana like a monkey from the bottom.
