Not of the picture above – I wish! My feeling is this one has a way to go… But rather of another youthful ambition to go see all the ‘greats’ of painting. My wonderful wife, the painter Sarah R Key is taking me off to Madrid as a kind of extended Valentine’s Day treat for a long weekend so I get to see Guernica, Goya and Velasquez as well as plenty of other painters whose work I’ve admired or been intrigued by for years. So no posts until midweek now.
