But ultimately I think something resonates with you on a gut level, or it doesn't. I like it and that's enough said. I will say that I too wish that I had some talent in art. My relationship to art is more of an urge than anything else. I enjoy mucking about with it. You are certainly not alone in your feelings about abstract art. I'm hoping that i can bring my love for abstraction and fly fishing together - and maybe make something that more folks could appreciate and that i still enjoy making. I guess that remains to be seen. Thanks for your comments, it's always good to hear from you. Hey Scott

I'm sorry to say that the "abstract" stuff at the top of the post I didn't *get* at all. I'm a bit of a literalist when it comes to art--if it doesn't look like something real, I'm lost. DeYoung's stuff is really amazing. Keep up the art (my wife is a great artist but hasn't touched her stuff in about 15 years--I get a bit upset with her about wasting that talent). Art is a talent I definitely wish I had. I've toyed around with sketching a bit, and woodblock carving for some prints, but it's not quite there. -scott Anthony,
