What happened to the In the Name of the Father post? You should see it. I recommend any film with Daniel Day Lewis in it.

Nice images. I was wondering what you thought of these, by Bruce Herman. He's a Protestant artist, (article).

Hi Jeff,

Yeah, I like Daniel Day Lewis too.

Those painting are really interesting. I like the central panel - like the article said, you don't often see that depicted. And the theird panel idea is neat - Mary at the wedding at Cana. Thanks, Jeff :)

Woah, I scrolled down too fast and thought Jerry Brown was one of the Annunciation pictures. Weird.

I love the Van Eyck. Which article are you referring to? I'd be curious to read something.

I wonder why he painted REGINA CLAIRE on the doorstep?

Oh, you were referring to the article on the Herman paintings. Never mind.

William, see that link Jeff left titled "article" - that one. I liked Eyck's too. I don't know about the meaning of the regina claire - interesting.
