Dear Deborah,

As always, your well-informed opinion makes me feel rewarded. Yes, Manet's use of everyday subject matters is a loving characteristic. He departed from the trode path in doing so, but his works were always exquisite unlike those of other innovative painters.

It is I who must thank you for visiting this forum.

Dear Barb, Jill, Marwa,

I am so happy that you are visiting today. Not only do I enjoy preparing the forums, but also have a great pleasure in reading and replying to your posts. It's as you say, Jill, FANTASTIC!

Thank you,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Dear Tom,

How nice of you to come by. As you say, not always do we have a chance to go to an art gallery, and how stimulating this is to the mind!

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Hi Luis;
Another wonderful selection. Manet is one of my favorite artists. I can't wait to view the next work of art you bring us.

Hello Chas,

Thank you very much for coming by. Actually a great "favorites" folder I created over the last few years has been coming very handy at the time of making my selection. Most of times not even I know what the next one will be. But I always try to chose a master work that I myself would like to see exhibited next.

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo
