I'm confused. As usual. But I like both Frank and Doug's pics. The guy in the clutches is a super grab. The exit/ no exit pic is superb. Great rendering. But I'd clone out the grim reaper exiting stage left. I think. But that's probably just me being anal. Paul -- Original message

Geza Bene was the only painter of the likely period that I could find through Google, as well. And yet his work was mostly a sort of soft-core cubism. If there was an impressionist period to his work there's no evidence of it on the web. Anne's link is to a copying studio where you can order

I like these graphical vignettes that you do. The only things I'd change are to level up on the middle shelf rather than the top shelf, and to get further back with a longer lens so there'd be less divergence between the shelves. Keep them coming, I always enjoy your work. Regards, Anthony Farr
