Being an art major in college, I am coming across more new and exciting work constantly. The dreamy attraction of J.W. Waterhouse's paintings, the worlds he created with his media, it all has the swooning romance that I also love in your books. The colors in your words speak of a love of beauty, and I wonder. My tastes in art are very broad. I'm oversensitive to shape and color, so architecture is terribly important to me.
Modern architecture seems a horrible failure.
I exhume ornamented surfaces from the past. I wish each country in the world would design its own ornamental freeway or highway signs and overpasses. In painting I love Botticelli and Frangelico as much as Rembrandt. My favorite modern artist is probably the German Expressionist Emile Nolde. My husband paints great works.
