Over the last five years or so I have had a very strong interest in art work and have collected three bronze sculptures by an artist by the name of Duane Scott. I couldn't actually believe I spent the money to buy them but I did. I haven't purchased any paintings as of yet but when I do I will buy from your website. I really enjoy your site and have two chapters of those readings you mention about realism vs. modernism.
I enjoy art in other areas as well such as classical music and the opera and the ballet but I also enjoy all the athletic endeavors like football, baseball and hockey.
Believe or not I also have recently purchased several oriental rugs basically because it's like looking at art work on one's floor. That is not your category but still nevertheless its my interest.
I wish you success in your work.
