[Aquanet] So ... what best embodies "close up" to you?

[Arsenault Lorraine]

Hi Bev,

I think you got two paintings mixed up or maybe it's the two artists that 
you got mixed up.  My painting is called "Orchidaceae Phalaenopsis" by 
Lorraine Arsenault.  Richard Price's painting is called "Lorraine's Irises". 
Now for the tricky question, which one did you want to pick?
