3. It is 85″ x 48″ and it’s in Detroit. Worth a trip just to stand in front of it.

4. PenGun, have you seen it in person?

   This painter is terrific, and I had not hears of him until this post.

5. I wasn’t familiar with the painting until I saw it in this post by a blogger who left an unrelated comment here a few days ago.

6. No I have not been there. It is a wonderful picture and when I found out it’s size I just wanted to go and look at it.

   My Lincoln Mark VIII is under construction but next year I might do some luxury touring with it. It’s along way from BC but there is Tech Reports BBQ next August I would like to attend. I won’t make it this year.

7. They liked big canvases. People then would (1826-1900).
   Contrast an 1803 map (Louisiana Purchase & Emerson was born) and 1850 (when the states began filling it in); Church must have seen the horizon getting bigger and bigger. An eccentric case ws Banvard, who did a (now lost) half mile painting. But Church, Cole – that whole group had ambition, along with immense talent.
   Quieter Spirits, Bryant’s sonnet to Cole.
   Probably you’ve already seen, he did a lot on South America.

8. Thanks, Ginny. It’s all new to me.
