A Ph.D in watermedia marketing? I love the idea, Nancy. I'd be the first to enroll in the courses.

BTW, several people have responded to this by sending me personal e-mails. While I'm happy to hear from people through any form of correspondence, it would be great if everyone used this forum section so the comments can be read by more people. Alex Powers had some great commments and I'll ask him for permission to transfer them here. As you know, Alex has a wonderfully irreverent point of view about a lot of things. He's great at provoking people to think serious about what they are doing.

Thanks,

Steve

Fascinating! There is a doctoral degree waiting to happen in delving into the whys and wherefores of this observation.

I stared in pencil, charcoal then pastel still love them all but have to say the hardest and most reveiling of what an artist can do is watercolor. So so far the greatest painting of all time are in oil. I hope I live to see the greatest in watercolor. Think it might be because of all the new paints in oil acrylic etc. but in watercolur no way great unless the artist can use the medium and really make a painting worth looking at.
