Your blog is wonderful! I don’t see any recent posts so I hope you’re still at it. I’m also an artist with a blog about art and art history – we’ve been on some of the same award lists. I’m adding you to my blog roll – please let me know if you have decided to stop.

See the chapter “Ochre” in “COLOUR” by Victoria Finlay – red ochre is seen as a sacred colour by the Aboriginals of Australia. Is this the basis for Venetian Red, does anyone know?

I love your site! I came across it while Googling Asparagus for a cookery book a client of mine is writing based on an 18th century book of recipes. Couldn’t help myself—had to subscribe! It’s a delight.

Hello from France…
I was very glad to find your site. Didn’t have time enough yet to explore all here, but as a painter involved in using earth for my works, I deeply appreciate your sentence “Venetian Red is a deceptively simple color. After all, dirt is a basic element of life on Earth”… And I really think that simple elements and techniques should never been forgotten, because when we practise them, the meaning of an artistic approach becomes obvious all of a sudden… And the reason why we do things, in this 21th century, is not always easy to find !…
Many thanks for all this work here.

When did you become interested in Central Asian Art? I have been reading about Cetntral Asia…politics, art, archealogy…all since 9/11/2001…I was astounded to see references to Auriel Stein before the great article on the trillion dollar bail out….I have passed on to my internet group…we are all over the US….who have been writing to one another for years….thanks for sending this to me
