I can do better than that....

A visit one afternoon to the Pinakothek Modern art museum in Munich literally had us standing on our heads with wonder. I was left to wonder about that 'what ifs,' had I actually just continued to paint and try to sell art. There were some genuinely good historical pieces of art by Dali, Klee, Kandinsky etc but there were also some.......duffers shall we say. 


Yep, we all found out that the curators had mysteriously hung all the pictures upside down, therefore a certain adaptation to a regular stance was needed. Jasper was quite innovative with his and adopted a four limbed 'through the legs' approach. 


It does work. Turn this one around and you should see a little white dog on a red chair. For those with iPads, beware the automatic rotation and lock the screen by the aid of the little switch on the side. Informative and helpful!

I aim to start painting again at some point, without the aid of Lidl paints, but hopefully some proper thick and juicy oil paints. Suggestions welcome of what to paint. And if you are wondering what style this format might take, I'm guessing there will be a certain Frank Auerbach influence as I spent most of my time at University studying this thick, oozy, blobby representations. Time to get googling again. Get your orders in too, commissions welcome, results not promised!
