As Sam plays ‘As Time Goes By’ once again, Ignacio Villarreal announces the return of Art Daily, like the phoenix arising! He writes movingly of overcoming health and financial problems and bringing back his 10 year old pet project and passion.

I enjoyed reading the world’s art news on Art Daily and frequently linked to their articles, as I wrote when they first closed in June, 2004 and again on its return a few months later. It really sounded like the final death notice last December, so now let’s happily say ‘welcome back’ to Ignacio and Art Daily and ‘may you both live long’!

The current art feature, Rembrandt and Caravaggio at the Van Gogh Museum is interesting – click on the big image and compare the works of the two masters. Now I wish I could fly to Amsterdam!
