I don't think you can leave out Fazio even if some think its too much eye-candy.

Linda Hartough: Isn't what she does just very detailed copying of a photograph of a golf hole? Is that really true art?
There's no artistic interpretation and dramatic flair.

Mark,

Would you prefer she sit on a stool at the tee of the hole she's painting for a month?

Tom MacW;

I SEEM TO BE OBSESSED with the Arts & Crafts Movement?? Wow, that's a beaut! It wasn't me who wrote a five part article with 1000 names of residual characters including some English headmaster's stepsister who once passed Hutchinson in the hall in an ill-conceived attempt to assign to some minor building and crafts movement in the latter part of 19th century England amongst a bunch of Kramer-haired toffs maximum influence on golf course architecture of the "golden Age"!  :)

Pete,

Linda is very good at what she does,but her paintings can be mistaken for a photgraph until you look close. And that's OK.
But there's no artistic interpretation. I'm not an expert in art, but that's the best I can explain it.

Thanks
