Hi, Jackie! I'll play!

And if you want to put your answers behind a cut, then before the text put < lj - cut > only take out the spaces. To end a cut, put a slash before the "lj".

Good! Let's see...

Interests: blackwork, illumination, and society for creative anachronism

Icons: The white tree, after hurricane katrina, and bad influence from Glory

Thanks for the lj cut help, Barbara! Now how do I get your icons to appear?

It was essentially an art history course with lots of visuals and information about artists and themes and social context and so forth. I have several artist friends; one does the illustrations for my website, and another participated in a fascinating discussion via e-mail with me in regard to the sorts of things my Estella might have used to make her paintings. I like all kinds of art--from cave paintings to Renaissance to Jamie Wyeth--though I don't much care for abstracts. I find them a little presumptuous and manipulating, much the same way I find certain authors--*ahem* Stephen Donaldson, for one--very manipulative with their readers.
