What does Mona Lisa not have that most of us do?
She has no eyebrows and no eye lashes. It is believed that Leonardo actually painted these details but that they are now lost. It could be the result of cleaning. Leonardo experimented with different kinds of paint, which may have contributed to the loss of details.
How much is an original James Bama Doc Savage painting worth?
This depends on which painting and condition. If there is nothing wrong with the condition and the painting was used for the cover of one of the Bantam paperbacks, it would be worth at least 6 (the least I've seen one offered for in the last 15 years) to 10 thousand. If it is one of the "favorites", like the first one, "The Man of Bronze" it could be several times that. The last one I saw on Ebay was for $10,000 buy it know and it went in minutes (like count them on your hand). Very, very hard to find. If you have one or know where one is, let me know! Bruce L.

The subject matter of the birth of Christ has been represented by many artists across time. Often the Holy Family is portrayed resting, or, in flight to Egypt, (The 'Doni Tondo' by Michelangelo). There are many images of the Nativity, Giotto painted one in the Scrovengi Chapel and the journey of the Magi ('Adoration of the Magi' by da Vinci and Rubens, among many).

How did the lone wolf painting by Kowalski become so popular in the US?
The austere and cold imagery of the Lone Wolf painting is an illustration of the coldness of the world without a connectedness to God and to our fellowman. Subconsciously, ignorantly, or willfully we choose to live life in a way that leaves us "out in the cold". It is written in the Bible, "A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weaping and the supplications of the sons of Israel, because they have perverted their way , they have forgotten the Lord their God." (Jeremiah 3:21) But, the wonderful news is that in the next verse, God says "Return, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness."And the people answer, "Behold we come to Thee;for Thou art the Lord our God. (Jeremiah 3:22) Likewise, Jesus Christ invites us... "Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost." The "Lone Wolf" is an image of the darkness of man's soul. Come to the light of One who loves you infinitely and come in from out of the cold. Thor304: I believe the lone wolf is meant to portray ones strength during solitude and change. The wolf is standing above cabins of some "pack" which is simply a barrier. This new change of his world makes it more difficult to find his place. He speaks to our soul and to those who do not understand that all beings, even the most savage,are entitled to acceptance, compassion, and purpose. Standing high on a hill as his sharpened mind must acquiesce from his own safe distance. The wolf may be a father, or maybe a mother. Neither are afraid of death, for it is inevitable, but mindful and most intelligently watchful of what is and what has been already. Yes, I believe he is a symbol of hope. The importance of that hope is one we all should solemnly try to comprehend.
