::::When I first wrote that on my talk page (three weeks ago), I thought you might be interested in producing, starting or somehow organizing a text. I'm simply not knowledgeable enough about art techniques or history to do so. (As I think you know, my areas of relative expertise include history and international relations, but not the fine arts.)  I realize that English is not your first or even second language, though, so ... I don't know. 
 :::::Re Magpie, I never did anything to The Magpie (Monet). Anyway, I'm tired of all the mean-spirited bickering at WP:FPC (and at WP:ITNC). For the present, I prefer to contemplate paintings I've assembled; I keep noticing new things in them. Paintings afford the artist many communicative possibilities not available to the photographer — though one also appreciates fine photographic work.
