You all are waxing poetic.

This is good, warm writing.

I never found I had to dismiss the old for the sake of the new. I think the two can be blended just as you blend the influences of several painters from several times and countries into your own style.

I admire perfection over invention. I think the new ground Bouguereau broke was high ground. One could say Michael Jordon and Tiger Woods break no new ground, but boy they surely do what has been done before in an impressive way. So well, as to have gained international lasting fame. Someone once said about such excellence, "they may not be in a class by themselves, but it doesn't take long to call role."
