Not sure Mom's ever going to get around to finishing commenting on the Paris pictures, so here's the link to the gallery anyway.
Must do art today. Life drawing class went really well last night and I did one really good picture and as per usual whenever anyone does a really good picture the teacher snarfs it and puts it up on the wall so I can't get a picture and post it in my portfolio. There's another class scheduled tonight, so I may drop by before it starts with my camera to get a copy of it plus one I did last fall that's up on the wall.

I tend to fall on the "provide context for those who wish it" side, because I like context. :)

Another example -- the Lady and the Unicorn (http://www.licornedecluny.com/GBpages/docdamlicornGB.htm) Tapestries (because I saw them at the Cluny :). You can appreciate them as art as is, just like they are. However, the designers of them created them with a specific visual language -- items represent specific things, from mythological to heraldic. If you know that language, you can read more into it. Even knowing that to many medieval and Renaissance people, the monkey stands for baser human nature adds a little bit.
A bit philosophical for some holiday snaps, but hey.
