<t>Yes, it does. I want to study Turkish art. Turkish art, like other Islamic art, is mostly abstract because they don't believe in reproducing images. My art is also mostly abstract, mainly because I'm not worth a purple tuppence as a figure drawer, so I have to rely on abstract curvilinear designs ...

Hi, I'm verte76, from Birmingham, Alabama. I'm an artist, and I'm getting ready to go to Turkey. I like to watch and discuss figure skating.
