There was a lot of beamish to be gotten rid of. Plus it took ages for our socks to dry...
I agree with all of that. What do art critics know anyway? You look at it see how it makes you feel, not them. You'll hear them gushing about something it looks like a six year old could have painted.
My wife and I have been to the filming of Portrait/Landscape Artist of the Year three times now (we we're seen in the crowd on Tuesday's episode from Herstmonceux Castle) and I asked Stephen Mangan what he thought about the judges choices in the past. He just shook his head and and said he agreed with me that the eventual winner is probably the best but some that get through the heats amaze him.
The photo above is from the filming of the semi-final of next year's Portrait Artist of the Year. I know she's working from a photo she took on her phone, but that shouldn't make much difference as they all seem to. Everyone I spoke to agreed that it would be this artist with her portrait of Elaine Paige, plus two of the other seven, that would be in the final.
Wrong!

I have always thought that Hopper does represent exactly that as America changed from largely self sustaining small towns to the development of the Industrial Age. Hoppers work often reflects the isolation and dysfunction of the individual in relation to those changes.

Yeah I get the sense of small town people in a big city,kind of invisible to everybody,even when theres more than one person in the painting you dont get a feeling theres any connection between them

I haven't got the patience to paint a ceiling like that in the Sistine Chapel. It must take ages.
I've been to New Orleans but most of my time in America has been spent in Bristol Tennessee, so I don't really know what big city America, especially in Northern states, is like. The state line runs the length of State Street in Bristol - Tennesse one side, and Virginia the other. Despite a lot of antique shops in Bristol, it's very much good ole boy hunting country. When we went to the big stores, like Bass Pro, it's like being on safari. The place is full of hunting rifles and camouflage gear. They even have little pink trimmed camouflage dresses for the kids.
This sort of blows David Hockney's theory of the camera obsura out of the water. Not only that, it seems an odd way to try to cut off someone's head.
If it does then I'm qualified
