Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

It's wonderful to itinerate my way through such an informative wizzley with such timeless, timely interest for 21st-century art with its debut artist: Artificial Intelligence!

Would oxidation and time-wrongful effects work against or with Artificial Intelligence?

Hi, sorry for my late response.

Of course, there is Van Gogh Blue in the market. Some of his most famous paintings are defined by blue shades. I decided to use some limits in the article and opted only for 'top 10' most representative colors.

Veronese Green is one of the shades without hard definition. Today's Veronese Green is very close to green of his paintings today, not in times when he painted. But numerous artists (includng contemporary) start with 'wrong' sahdes anyway, because the expect the paint will change due oxidation and other effects caused by time.

Yes, sure, red and colors with a large percent of red bear huge symbolic powers, but one important reason of their importanc was also they their availability. It was way easier to get red pigment than blue (mostly made of lapis lazuli).

Veronica,
PAYE sounds easy!
It's nice that the tax people recognize your talents with paper submissions. You are saving a lost art! (tee hee)

Fortunately, most of us in the UK are on PAYE , pay as you earn, and our employers deal with our taxes.

I am now self-employed, and our new tax year is April 5th /6th.

We have been going paperless for years but the tax people reckoned my IT skills are so weak that I can keep submitting on paper. Haaaaaaaa

Virginia Historic Garden Week covers different cities and counties daily even as some sites command two opportunities.

For example, Historic Berkeley, Shirley & Westover and Leesburg combine with Albemarle-Charlottesville Sun., Apr 19 and Morven Mon., Apr 20, 2026.

Little Oak Spring combines with Danville-Chatham, Norfolk, Richmond: Westhampton Thurs., Apr 23 and with Kent-Valentine House, Middle Peninsula – King and Queen County, The Virginia Executive Mansion Fri., Apr 24, 2026.

The section below the 5th in-text image, of the the Mozart family, advises us that "The ring-tailed pigeon's vocalizations are recognizable as guttural to the least trained of musical ears. They begin with two sounds: Cru-cru, followed by a descending croooo; U-hu, succeeded by an emphatic coooo."

What other bird-sentient vocalizations are prefatory, simultaneous, subsequent to such soundings?

(This springly month sounds springy what with cardinals, blue jays, bluebirds, mourning doves and ovenbirds in the back and side yards. One species rarely sings alone, at least here. And of course springly March always shelters spring-peeper songs!)

So what species would ring-tailed pigeons work musically with?

The computer crashed afore I could continue with another component of my comment below.

That last section, Conclusion, describes masked ringtail possums and their modern and traditional villager predators as dwelling in protected areas.

It seems to vary biogeographically whether traditional-tribal/villager protection sends its subjects steadily along an evolutionary line or stays them in their cultural stage.

What will it be in such a terrain as that tended on one island as two countries?

For those wondering about international workings through the Taubman Museum, the art museum was the last April-debut site for the exhibition Delphine Diallo: The Mythic Quest.

The afore-indicated French-Senegalese artist walked some works through her Taubman-museum talk Fri., Apr 4, 2025 even as the Louvre Abu Dhabi simultaneously still works her “Kings and “Queens of Africa: Forms and Figures of Power" into their events.

Has anyone been on the International Space Station at the time of a lunar eclipse or of a solar eclipse?

Animal-rights activist, astrophysicist and Queen musician Sir Brian Harold May is a Venus-transit specialist.

What would it be like to watch a Venus-transit from the space station or from an Earth-Moon, Moon-Earth space flight?

The computer crashed afore I could communicate the other two of the three young actresses who could create impressive characterizations in any filmed or live event.

Another such candidate is Marisa Abela.

The afore-mentioned actress matters in every filmed and live event that she makes.

Would not she, like M. Night Shyamalan's daughter Saleka, work wonderfully, wondrously in any female role in such a sequel?

I do not eat them with butter or any butter in general, High fat.
I eat them with a thin layer of jam, usually apricot or strawberry.
Ours are made with sultanas and raisins here so yes, it is traditional, but as I said in a previous comment, there are several types nowadays.

Every day I dedicate Be Thou My Vision to you and Maureen and your family and to Veronica and her husband and her family.

When I get to a noon Mass, I give Intentions to you and your wife and your family and to Veronica and her husband and her family.

Thank you to Frank for his insights about not buttering hot-cross buns and to Veronica for her comment in answer to my previous observation and question.

The west-pond side associates traditional hot-cross buns with grape-produced currants, raisins and sultanas.

Would that be the traditional association on your east-pond side?

The 7th entry, Titian red, advises us that "Tiziano Vecellio (1506-1576) was an Italian Renaissance painter who was known for warm, earthy reddish, brownish, and orange tones, which, in large amounts, defined Renaissance painting."

What decided brown, orange and red tones as quintessential Renaissance?

Were they all symbolic of something (such as there's a tradition of Jesus Christ as red-haired!)?

For those debating why the word parchment in the product name monkey parchment coffee, that moniker describes what the the Rhesus monkeys devour: the outer layers of the coffee beans!

Does the above-designated outer, protective layer digest dazzlingly or dauntingly in such edibles as fruit salads?
