One of your best! I didn’t know about the PRB. I’ll be sure to learn more about them now. I’ve listened to all but one of your episodes. Working on that last one while walking this week. Please write more. I love Stuff About Things. I try to “look at something beautiful” each day. Imagine my surprise, when in conversation with my son, he gave me the very same advice recently when I was complaining about covid restrictions on our lives. This pandemic has made me concentrate on the here and now!
Sincerely,
Dot Dickinson
Hey, Dot! Thanks so much for those kind words! I loved this episode, too! Not to worry: I’ve got a new episode in the works that I’ll post after I meet a dissertation deadline next week. I’m about six weeks away from submitting my final dissertation, so things are as crazy as ever! Come November I should have much more time to devote to new episodes. And the WPA murals are still on the list. 🙂 Keeping finding those beautiful things! -L
so now I have watched 6 episodes of Desperate Romantics on Prime video. Now I want to see more Rosetti art. I was intrigued by the influence of Rosetti on William Morris. Thanks for sparking this curiosity. So much looking forward to more podcasts when you get that “PhD” title. Best wishes.
