We had another near-catastrophe here yesterday: A storm bad enough that trains stopped running, a building three doors from mine got hit by lightning and Internet service was disrupted.

As soon as I can take a deep breath, I am going to do a post that relates this to literature …

I live close to the Ringling Art Museum and visit often, always eager to learn more; this book is no doubt the sort that will allow me to pick up new insights within the tiny spaces left in my life for such pursuits.

Thank you.

The title of “How to Read a Painting” is quite accurate — the book deals with the story told by each painting and tends to discuss technique only as it relates to that narrative. So it’s very well-focused in addition to its other virtues.

Sounds like the sort of thing I should know/should have learned but would love to have answered outright in such a book. And like the idea of the callouts. I have trouble applying myself to onion-skin reference-type pages to glean info and this could be right up my sometimes short attention span alley!
