Rembrandt Rubens Velazquez November gave us a light dusting of snow, so naturally the weather people are crying blizzard now that December is here. As of six this morning, nothing can be seen falling from the sky, but that might be a different affair this afternoon. ... Without a doubt the Sinestro Corps story is fun, but I wish that the two Green Lantern books were not so closely tied together. Reading them one after another does work well, but I liked it better when the two books had their own stories. Plus there is never enough time for proper character development in a book with multiple lead characters. As far as I am concerned, Lantern Natu needs more time in the spotlight, but that is not going to happen until this current story comes to an end. ... Here is a description of a documentary that I watched this morning. It felt good to have some exposure to fine art. I miss Art History class. "This documentary is a history of European art and its expanded possibilities after the Renaissance. Baroque art, ornate in character, was prevalent in the 17th and first half of the 18th century. It was supplanted by the neoclassical movement, from about 1750 until the mid-19th century, which originated in Britain, France, Italy, and Germany before spreading throughout the rest of Europe and into Russia, then on to the Americas. The art of this period was heavily influenced by the art of classical antiquity. This film celebrates great achievements in the art of the times by such masters as Rembrandt, Rubens, Frans Hals, Velazquez, and Caravaggio. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide" |
