But perhaps I don't because, in most cases, I have absolutely no idea what the artist had in his mind when they were painted. I suspect Cro would not give a single one houseroom. Perhaps you wouldn't either. I should really have said what I felt when I commented. I really don't like any of the Alan Davie paintings that I have seen.
