I am by training a biologist, a serious if somewhat unorthodox Christian, and a painter currently working using the techniques and vocabulary of late 14th century Italy. The interface between art, art history and philosophy fascinates me.Moldy Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785043761668227958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-625458656741757252012-04-17T04:55:52.493-04:002012-04-17T04:55:52.493-04:00Dear Counterlight

I am a pseudo-doctor (of political science), but a real life-long student and lover of art and architecture (and an Italophile blessed with 28 trips to Italy).Your essay on the iconography of the cross is superb, and I look forward to reading all of your other essays.<br /><br />- Dan Baedeker<br /> danby16@mindspring.comDan Baedekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345072163058094697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-70165092921003912762011-01-25T08:13:41.099-05:002011-01-25T08:13:41.099-05:00Thank you Margaret, JCF, and Maddy.Thank you Margaret, JCF, and Maddy.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-76133985624844097772011-01-25T08:13:01.467-05:002011-01-25T08:13:01.467-05:00Mimi, you are one of the very last people on earth...Mimi, you are one of the very last people on earth I would ever accuse of purchasing art for the sake of polishing the edges off ill gotten wealth.<br />It sounds to me like all of your collecting is a labor of love, the best kind of collecting.<br /><br />I'm delighted that you learn from these posts, and I hope to continue the education.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-60933263272603960072011-01-25T05:40:52.096-05:002011-01-25T05:40:52.096-05:00There's no need for you to justify your blog. ...There's no need for you to justify your blog.

Even if your posts are not Art 101, I've learned a lot. I hope that's OK.<br /><br />Tom and I both have a love for hand-made objects, including art. Over the years, we've purchased a good many paintings and prints, mostly by local artists whom we admired and could afford. We have hand-woven baskets, hand-carved duck decoys, and other hand-made collectibles, because we love the objects people create with their heads, hearts, and hands. Our collections are not our trophies. They're what we like and can afford. <br /><br />Thank you for what you do. I started to read your post on the Tang dynasty, but I have not read all of it, yet.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-10424711505978793642011-01-24T17:23:46.265-05:002011-01-24T17:23:46.265-05:00...and you do it so well!
