2. I have been meaning to tell you, CT Yankee...

( born in Texas but a "Yankee"???....pshaw)

Meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your weekly art quizzes.
I have ZERO art background/education, so learn a lot from the guesses and discussion and the answers.
History I like, this adds a whole other dimension.

Thanks...hope you continue with this.

4. These quizzes are tough but a lot of fun!

I loved art history.

I feel really smart since I figured out that the first one was David & Goliath, but got the artist wrong. So I get 1/2 credit.


There is a Fiesta Grocery Store in south Houston, on Spencer Highway, that years ago had a Last Supper hanging over the checkouts that was a Murillo. I wonder if it is still there??

5. Yep that Verocchio David is quite similar to Donatello's. I love them both...
