Why is there always people coughing in these lectures. If you are sick don’t go and if coughing leave the room, have some respect for other people. Wow!
Very pretty indeed. These pipes possess the most wonderful romantic rusticity, the sweetest tone and musicality of any bagpipes I've ever heard. As commented below, the sound is haunting. Having lived in Northumberland for ten years, but absent in NZ for the last near forty, such music brings back incredible reminiscences of the place and peoples of that northern corner of England. Thanks so much
Aaaaa...pace
CHEATING!!! PAINT BY NUMBER!!
Why do curators insist that pastels are sensitive to light? They are not, in fact they are hardier than most mediums. If anything, it is the paper they are on that is affected by the light. They need to make that distinction.
Wonderful Music and special performance ❤
We went to the Intentional Beauty collection recently, and it is stunning. I appreciate the talk!
Spectacular lecture - insightful, fresh and subtly precise. Magnificent and humble at the same time.
I'm not sure that Caravaggio planned to kill his tennis opponent: it seems more like a monetary passion.
