There's really only one tone in the curtain.

Thanks -- I responded on the Richter thread to avoid further derailment here.

Artist conception, but cool (just on MSN):



An artist's conception shows the icy asteroid Chariklo and its rings, which are 4 miles and 2 miles (7 kilometers and 3 kilometers) wide and separated by a 6-mile-wide (9-kilometer-wide) gap. The ring system extends about 500 miles (810 kilometers) in diameter.

Thanks, chaps.

I swear I didn't try to imitate Fantin-Latour.  I hadn't even read of him before. I will have to look into his work.

You want to look at some of Bablyak's floral canvases.  As your photo, too, demonstrates, there are still fresh things to be said with flowers.

"There is still plenty of good music to be written in C major."
Yes, I would certainly like to see them.

Good advice.

There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.

Somehow those brittle textures make me think of....
