is very romantic image--thanks for warm thoughts. very beutiful. #3417664Melissa G. Meiselman October 07, 2006
I have a lot of romantic type images in a holding pattern, but do not post them all at once. I like to keep everyone guessing. I am pleased with the one I posted today. #3419063Mary C. Legg October 07, 2006
is nice to have variety aend romanticism can be overwhelming, hence I disliked the idea of learning Schumann Frauenliebe und leben #3419180Melissa G. Meiselman October 07, 2006
I love flowers no matter the catagory...romantic or otherwise. I really do not give art history a thought when I create my images or take pictures. Of course the influences are there...I took lots of art history courses while going to school. I found them boring. #3419194Mary C. Legg October 10, 2006
that's a shame because art history is very exciting stuff and something to revel in, so am sorry that you lost out on such wealth. #3428797Melissa G. Meiselman October 10, 2006
...not really lost. I look at images to see what I can glean to improve my work. I just do not like to memorize artists and dates as they have you do in art history classes!! I revel in music. #3430622Sherri Gorman November 23, 2006
