450-475 namometer are my favorite wavelengths.

And may I add that the beauty of the composition is greatly enhanced by extracting the color from the rest of the frame and leaving just the bottle in vivid hues (though that technique hasbecome a commercial cliche, it still can be arresting and effective when done correctly).

Pleasantville.

XWL, don't you think that the colors are much more vivid in Angstroms, though? ;>

Well joe, you say toMAYto, I say tomaTOE.

and besides everything NANO is cool nowadays, so I was using the trendier measure.

(I've been brainwashed by Steve Jobs, help!)

(and the word verification may be in violation of the establishment clause, -lvmom- sounds like a plea to follow the honor thy mother and father commandment)

It was more beautiful before he futzed with it.

Ann,

Why don't you start a blog called, "Althouse's Refrigerator Door" so that you can display more of your son's artwork?

I was just joshing!

Actually, you're fortunate to have a mother who enjoys your work. Not every artist that I know can say that....

What is it about blue? Do you remember the televisions that when they were off, the screen was blue? The ad ran "It's blue. It's beautiful."

My seven year old informs me it is her favorite color.
