i do enjoy art for art's sake. my initial physical reaction was simply a smile, but with a background in art history i can't help but apply what i know about the subject. i guess my instructors in college did a pretty good job. my opinion/knowledge was shared for the simple fact that i thought it would help clear up some questions because the clear fact is people have questions when they look at art. the most simple question people always ask is "why did the artist make that?" we may never know for sure because we are not the artist, but we can look for meanings through themes and techniques that have been used for centuries.
so sorry to comiccharlie and the lookers with no questions for the little light bulb that went off in my head when i realized i could apply my college education to a real life situation outside of my job.

plus with scott's formal art training, i can't help but think that there is a connection.
