Michael,
I had a nightmare myself. I dreamt that I had joined a professional group of artists, and like your dream, I was blown away by their talents, and felt self conscious about my own level of achievement.
At one meeting (presumably after they had parachuted), someone quite innocently inquired about the proper way to sharpen a pencil. The responses came pouring in from the pros. One insisted on a chisel shaped lead, while another said that his work is just fine with a point. One used an electric sharpener, and the others belittled him for it, even though his work was excellent. Screaming and accusations erupted, and finally they all took their pencils, sharpened them in their preferred method, and began attacking each other with them. Fortunately, I awoke before it got too violent.
What a nightmare. I can hardly look at a pencil now.

Napoleon's on
Gawd,
Beth and Marvin - you've done it again. That $700.00 Photoshop sure does come in handy don't it?
I am still laughing - and yes, the black hat theme is not worn out yet - keep those pics coming! I liken myself to Sharon in one way - "pass the Depends!" So glad I got my laugh here again tonight!
On a side note:
A&E has the special production of Napoleon on and I had to get out my Nineteenth Century Art History Book to look at all the paintings done of Napoleon and his precious Josephine. Clothing was period correct in the production!
Bonne Nuit!
Denise

Nightmare
I had a nightmare that no one would ever care what my paintings looked like 50 years from now -- darkened or not.
I still gotta wonder how anyone can know what 3% of maroger medium will do to a painting. How is the comparison made? Photos aren't reliable, they fade and their colors change. Unless 50 years ago an artist made two piles of paint (several colors), then added maroger to only one, placed them both on the same canvases, then exposed both to the same exact conditions for 50 years, how would anyone know? This is not like the discussion on varnish, which sits on top and can be removed.

Another "laugh out loud" post from Steven! I think I'll make a trip down to Shucks Auto Supply today.
