Thanks for sharing that website. It was beautiful. A very interesting idea, about transporting yourself to another time in a painting. It evokes all sorts of feelings.

I was born in 1956, but for my culture, it is not a compliment to be called a monkey. I tell some of the little kids I deal with daily at school that they are little monkeys as a way to tease them. By this I mean that they are way too active, climbing around like a monkey does, over trees and everything. For asian cultures, does the monkey have any particular symbolism or meaning? I've always wondered.
