Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Good morning Cro. I have a few posts to read that I haven't had time to read in the past few days. Glad to see you had a good trip to your home.
ReplyDeleteVery tiring journey, but we arrived safe and sound.
DeleteShocking!!
ReplyDeleteIf I'd produced a life-drawing that bad when I was at college, I'd have been shown the door!
DeleteSome "modern art" is self-indulgent rubbish but as, for example, The Tate Modern shows, most of it is worthy of our attention and can often be enriching.
ReplyDeleteBeing in the business myself, I do tend to be very critical. I can usually tell the difference between real rubbish and work that has merit.
DeleteDr Hill is always magnifique... he is as good as any medicine!!
ReplyDeleteI once went to a show of his, and didn't stop laughing for 3 hours!
DeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I missed my vocation! I have a couple of spare hand rails somewhere, but will to pop out to the Chines shop to buy a whistle!
I wouldn't bother if I was you. Buy a jigsaw puzzle instead; it'd still be worth something next week.
DeleteHahaha, this hightlights everything that is wrong with the "art" world...they seen us coming!
ReplyDeleteThey think they can fool us; they can't.
DeleteI think the rudest review I ever wrote, was a spectacular gallery space, filled with trash.
ReplyDeleteAnd I presume that's how you described it.
DeleteVery funny spin on the art world. Like anything, there is the good, the bad and everything in between.
ReplyDeleteMostly 'everything in between'. I met a lot of them when I was at Art College.
DeleteI remember making Amanda very uncomfortable when on a visit to Tate Modern I came across Andy Warhols toilet, and very publicly burst out laughing and asking why 'people even buy into this s&&t?
