I can only imagine what dramatic turns of events this Leonardo's Horse project must have immersed you in, especially the fact that it has to do with visionaries' dreams, and crossing a few centuries no less.

There must have been SO much heart and soul poured into the project. I am very sorry it turned out the way it did in the end. But as some would say "It is better to love and loose than not have loved at all"

Thanks October,

You express your thoughts so nicely, I think I feel the same as you have expressed it. I'm glad to have given the Horse my best effort. Just like our last election, things don't always go the way you hope or expect they will; but life goes on anyway, with new challenges and dreams to latch onto.

It's funny, given the nature of Capt. Dent's art collection surrounding me in the Dome, it was not hard at all to feel immersed into fifteenth century Italy. However, when I tried to complete the effect by playing 15th century Italian music on the LP, sonorously projecting out of a tiny walkman speaker filtering down 50 feet from the top of the Dome, the rest of the staff cried in horror to return to the eighties! The Dome itself could be a loudspeaker. Listening to period music Leonardo might have heard, was definitely going TOO far!! :D

Well, of course, I'm happy for them to recognize the site overall, but the most important thing for me is the potential clients it brings for the artists.

Thank you, all!

It is nice to see that Art and Antiques has done an article on how to solicit portrait artists and in particular on educating their readers about the process of obtaining beautiful works of commissioned art. Cynthia, the mention of
