Let’s say you need to go to the grocery store. You know that some people manage to get there in five minutes, but somehow you always get off track and it takes you at least 10 minutes. You really want to get to the store faster!
Someone says, “Well a BMW is faster than that Toyota you are driving!’ Get a BMW and you’ll speed up your trip to the store!”
You get the BNW and you DO get to the store faster — on average, it now takes you 10 minutes and 9 seconds instead of 10 minutes and 10 seconds! But you do own a really fancy car! (No offense to BMW drivers. They are fine cars.)
Meanwhile, someone else says, “You know, I don’t think that the BMW is going to help much. If you got to know the streets around here a little better, and perhaps if you didn’t always drive to the store at rush hour, you could cut your drive time in half. Or if you explored the neighborhood a bit you might even consider that other store that is half as far away.”
Buying a Stradivarius won’t make you t a better violinist. Working on your technique and interpretation will. ;-)

You have been the most amazing source of inspiration and encouragement on a subject I endeavored to study years ago and share what I've learned with our fellow members regarding Trompe' Loeill. I'll never forget all that you have done to help this conversation, and the impact you've had on my (and other fellow members) joy of our beloved craft and conversation(s) with others on Fred's most wonderful site. You have spent an enormous amount of time, effort, attention and energy to leave your mark on my life in a way that I cannot begin to express with words sufficient to convey, how much you have ensured that I'll never forget that you are ...
