[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 120036, member: 878"]A lot has gone on since I last visited. And that was only 16 hours ago. The newest piece of art? My reaction is that I do not like it. The trees are not well defined. Everything else is presented in a "fairy tale" mode. No trees have the shapes shown. There would not be green, red and brown trees at the same time. Then, continuing toward the bottom, I had the same reaction as YourTurn. Why the sadness/pain/defeat of both man and beast? Made me feel sad, depressed. Trying to change that mood I decided both were unhappy because the structures they were approaching had shrunk since they left. The horse and wagon will not fit in the barn, and the man has no place to rest his weary bones. But my opinion did not change. A well done paint-by-number but on a poorly structured base. I was then commanded to :eek: take an on line test. (It is impossible for me to ignore them.) The result was as expected: 1. A score of 54. 2. The always present one question that [B]cannot be answered[/B][U] because the question is so stupid[/U] that is should not exist. HOWEVER, you MUST answer or you cannot proceed. As normal, I am open to nasty comments, or those corrections that make me hurt a bit because of my inability to have read it right, and then the head hanging in embarrassment which is eventually ended when I start wholeheartedly laughing at my inability to have correctly interpreted the question.
