Hello, darlings. I am CTyankee and I have a Challenge for you!

[CTyankee]

21. That is so nice of you!

It is, however, a challenge for me to come up with new challenges, which is why I read about art constantly (which I love to do anyway) and try to visit as many museum exhibits as I can. And, of course, I am retired so I have the luxury of spending LOTS of time with this passion. An added benefit is that it is fun and since I can't DO art as a creative outlet, my next best thing is curating the Challenges.

As for difficulty, there is a reason for that. DUers as a group have incredibly deep and wide knowledge about art and a sophistication that wildly impresses me! There are real art historians here at DU and they give me a lot of recommended resources. I admire them; they have gone through the academic rigor that I have not, so the bar is set pretty high!

Thanks for your kind words. Hope to see you tomorrow...
