The above oil painting of Ferryside sold today. Always picturesque Ferryside sits ont heTowy estuary and is overlooked by Iscoed Mansion the home of General Sir Thomas Picton who was killed at Waterloo. Not a pleasant chap by all accounts but there again he gave his life for his country.
I was chatting today to a fellow artist. We happened to be discussing modern media in the context of art. She was doing her Masters Degree a few years ago when a tutor told her films will no longer have a begining a middle and end, they will just have random imagery. (Oh yeh?) This explains why the art clique sit around watching a film of a flapping sheet for hours and later discuss how liberated it was. Personally, and call me old fashioned, I like a story or at least interesting scenery!
