They look totes great, Matt. I will actually get in touch soon rather than just keep saying I will.

I dont't know much about the history of art and I fail to memorise the artists when I do see pieces that I admire. However, I have been dipping into the current BBC
Civilisations series and I am hugely enjoying it. I just love the section in episode 3 on Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a European artist circa 1565. He painted detailed, "real", common people in tandem with natural backgrounds. The narrator, Simon Schama, is excellent in highlighting aspects of the art and I like his exuberant, elaborate and yet understandable description.
The Hunters in the SnowIt has reminded me that I rarely take time to look at art but I always enjoy it when I do.
