But I sense some irritation, and apologize if my explanations made you feel insulted in any way, that was not my intention. They were only intended as explanations, for any reader to take or leave.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think artists or makers are confined by their traditional styles, those are just part of the world they live in. If there is any feeling of confinement it could possibly be about the iconography. But none of the Hindu or Buddhist artists I ever spoke to, mentioned a feeling of confinement in that sense. I think they regard that as tradition as well. But of course that latest part is conjecture, as you would probably put it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I can say for sure they were all very proud to continue their traditional art and did so with great respect to the sacred content of their art.</p><p><br /></p><p>Journey, thank you for being so nice about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
