    Isn’t it interesting the way prices go up the moment the body is going down!
    I have read that there are even galleries which specialise in signing older ‘undiscovered artists’ with this in mind. Ah there’s hope for me yet ;>)
    You reminded me of a cartoon I did some time ago which might give you a chuckle… I’ll try to remember to bubblemail you when I’ve uploaded it.

    Brilliant visual statement…..... just brilliant. A silent death, no blood, only paint blotches.

    I wouldn’t hang around in the Louvre, you know what the french are like. Anyway you can be famous in your own mind, most important.

    if it is fame one seeks then maybe one should seek a different profess/hobby/ whatever one sees themselves , but the inner essence of being an artist is for the love….is i not

    Your work makes me smile…whether it is the satire or the calming, soothing colors and flow of your more serious pieces. Some people need to lighten up…I’m just sayin’ : )
