As an aside for Dr McWatt:

so nice to read that you're an art lover, Anthony.

Whilst investigating Pirsig's journey on the river, I came across the
Hudson river school painters;

especially Cole's work made around the  environment of the Cattskills is
truly astonishing.



Ant McWatt comments:

Adrie,

Many thanks for the Thomas Cole reference there.  I hadn't heard of him, to be 
honest with you.  However, though his subject matter tends to be a little bit 
traditional for me, Cole certainly has a mastery of light judging from the 
Internet images I found of his paintings (not unlike the English painter Joseph 
Turner).  Now if I lived in a Victorian mansion near the Hudson river, one or 
two of Cole's paintings (or sketches) would definitely make for a rather nice - 
if not essential - complement for the house!

Did you actually travel down the Hudson in a boat, btw?  If so, any 
philosophical observations?

Best wishes,

Anthony
