I haven't seen either actually. I think it's a shame that they're charging for the grounds. So many people used it for jogging and walks.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-37460588679913700292012-10-03T18:28:29.379-04:002012-10-03T18:28:29.379-04:00I love the watercolors!

As the chief executive officer of Versailles, she doesn't have to be able to detect authentic Louis XIV ormolu at ten paces, all she as to do is be an excellent manager of people, media, and resources and it seems that she is perfectly qualified to do that. <br /><br />When I was working as a decorative arts expert at a New York auction house I learned first hand that museum people are often no better informed about art just by virtue of their Ph.D.'s. I had an internship at the British Museum and the Keeper of their magnificent horology collection used to be a vacuum cleaner repairman before he got obsessed with time pieces and earned his spot among the experts. Go figure.<br /><br />And speaking as the art expert that I am, are you ever going to do a portrait of Marie Antoinette? Surrounded by plates of patisserie? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Vivian Swifthttp://www.vivianswift.netnoreply@blogger.com
