Reading others’ fanfics is produlgent. File under ‘read when settled a bit.’

Don't consider yourself under any obligation to read it.  Or any of the other garbage that I post to this blog.  If I write anything of substance that actually deserves reading, it goes elsewhere.

More importantly, since Tumblr has updated things, the answer I left about replies was all wrong.  The only way that I know to open up a 'reply' post like this is to access the original blog post on your dashboard.  (Most easily from the section unique to your blog, yea?  Whatever that is called.  Accessed at tumblr.com/blog/thenameofyourblog.)  If you view the notes on a post, you can click on a reply, and then it should open a text post like this.  But maybe all this is unique to the missing e plugin?

okidok: favorite painting?

Hmm. This is actually the most difficult question I've gotten so far, I'm considerably terrible at picking favorites.

I love da Vinci's sketches - I know those are drawings, but they're still some of my favorites. And gesture drawings in charcoal, pen, and pencil. And anatomical studies.

Reblogged one of my favorite sculptures here, The kiss of death, a while back. And I love what I've seen by Bernini's work. 

But paintings... I don't really have a favorite is the issue. There was a gorgeous photorealistic oil painting I saw a few years ago at Art Basel of a woman in the bathtub that I loved. But I don't remember the name of the piece or the artist, unfortunately.
