    A good write and pic M. You been round my way? There was a building that looked like the one in your pic a few miles from us, on a farm - now been rebuilt.

      I love the broken - always makes for more interesting scenes.- it's amacing what you can find amid the Rub Berles.

        Aww did Ruby Berles (Rub for short) live there before they knocked it down?!

        Very true Michael. We have had this discussion before and I think that we agree that art comes from within, as a lover of art, though not particularly knowledgeable, I like to be able to feel the artists presence within the artworks, as I do with yours.
        Many art works are just wonderful copies of life that could have been taken by a camera, the artists are very skilled but is it art.
        Equally I have seen photographs that look like a piece of art, art is so special that it must have an effect on the person looking at it.
        This discussion goes on forever.

          Yes we have and probably will again. In truth I am not sure about the second line - do I really mean it as it reads? If an artist doesn't create the he's not an artist. Perhaps I should replace it with this. Discuss.

          Your image today reminds me of my own 'theme' when i was a keen photographer. I would try to capture how nature gently re-took the ground which mankind abandons. I was often in derelict buildings with camera or in railway sidings.
          Interesting last line from you today, i recall even a piss artist was able to leave quite creative channels across pavements in those late evenings of my younger days.

          that's one hell of a statement .. one hell of a painting and true... N

          Oooh - what a picture - I wish I could take that broken down dwelling and make it into my country retreat - and as for your statement on art I really agree that not all artists have the gift of creating. A interesting posting my friend and thanks for sharing it.

          Art is inherent in art(tist), that you have displayed in many forms, mesmerizing us

          Great shorty Michael and could not agree more

          Have always admired Francis Bacon after a visit to the tate years ago... His work still give me the shivers now when I see it... what power

          VERY TRUE UNCLE MICHAEL ~ In my case it would apply to Science which is both My Profession & My Passion !
          SCIENCE is only created by SCIENTISTS (especially in the 21st century)
          ALL SCIENTISTS are not CREATIVE !

          In the past mAny things were discovered accidently Gravity ~ The Steam Engine ~ Mauve Dye ~ Polythene ~ Penicillin ~ Radioactivity ~ Stainless Steel ~ The Wheel etc etc. Today the breakthroughs are made by Teams of PhD's workin in LABS with millions of pounds of equipment ! Even PhD's can (occasionally) be creative. Thanks for Painting ~ very creative !

          Blessings to YOU & YOURS
