Dear Michelle,




Do go and see the opera!! there are no guarantees, but chances are, since you're a wonderful painter (I have seen your work) you will love the opera.

Seattle is a good company, but don't start with Wagner or Strauss or any of the heavy guys. A Boheme or a Magic Flute is excellent first time experiences.

I did post something from Rome, but now I can't find it. Allan R. actually told me where to look, but I must be doing something wrong. Well eventually I'll get there.

All the best

Mikael

I found your Rome work: it's here: http://forum.portraitartist.com/show...&page=14&pp=10

Thanks for your suggestions about the Opera. Now to find someone who'll go with me -- my husband's more of a baseball fan than a fan of the arts!

Mikael, my apologies - when I moved your Rome landscapes, you should have received an autromatic notice. Please let me know if that didn't happen as perhaps there is a software glitch (technical term).

Dear Chris,

No, I didn't receive anything, but I'm happy that Michelle found it for me. No damage done, now I know how it work.

I made a mess of my attached photos today. It must be the temperature here in Rome clouding my wits - sorry everyone!

But it does give the idea of how I work.

Now I'll wait until it's finished I think.

Best,

Mikael

Welcome Mikael! I love the composition of "Susse Wold", very original.

Dear Enzie,

I'm glad you like her. She's a wonderful actress, and a good friend. Always flirting, but not really letting people too close. So she's garding her secrets in the room behind her.

Best wishes

Mikael

Dear Michele,

You can tell your husband that one doesn't exclude the other. In Santa Fe, we always played base ball in between the rehearsals (even though we were not supposed to). Maybe he should try a little opera between the games!

It's true that The Barber of Seville is a good starter. I sung it 168 times, so I should know I guess.

Happy opera!

Mikael

Dear Michele,

I completely agree with Mikael, when I first took my wife to the Opera we went to see Rossini's "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" that's another good suggestion. Another good idea is to read about the Opera before the show to know what it is about, knowing the story will help you appreciate it even more.
