Art shows the soul.

    So very, very true Michael. I enjoy photography and have been photographing nature for more years than I care to remember, I hope that I have got an eye for a good image.

    What I cannot do is artwork, I have tried but then I see artists work, including yours, and I can see things in that art that I cannot produce myself, the soul in art. As you know I like all types of art and really look into it deeply, that is also why my second home is the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

    Another cracking picture Michael, similar to the one that I wrote about but different colours. Thank you.

      And I love the Ashmolean - thanks Andy

      A fine write and pic M. I had a dream - ooh! I spilt some water on a painting that was drying, then I tried to re-paint it before the painter got back. I couldn't do it, and explained to him: 'Erm well I just, erm, sorry about that; can ya fix it?!'

      • Michael Edwards

        I sometimes spill water on purpose 0 when usinks - the result - my ink abstracts.

        • orchidee

          Ahh good then - makes a change - I didn't dream of spilling a cup of tea over a painting! lol.

          • Michael Edwards

            Coffee is often used in painting not to mention elephant dung.

            • orchidee

              I wondered why, when I started painting, things were a bit pongy!

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              Ah - a stunning couplet to adorn the picture - or vice-verse maybe - There is no gainsaying the truth of that final line Mike - - - for sure soul shows through your art.

              • Michael Edwards

                Is vice versa a polite way of saying - no I won't go there. Thanks for your comments - you are too kind Fay.

                  Yours is laid bare in your work - and what great work it is!
