When I was a little younger, studying under the watchful eye of Ann Crofts at MGS i remember that she taught me one very distinct lesson in oil paints. Always build up from the darkest colours get lighter as you go. This has no bearing on the link, although it made me laugh. I think part of the appeal of this sketch is the fact that there are such quaint, countryside painters who lead such sheltered tearoom lives that onset senile dementia is all parr for the course. I live in a part of the country where at one time or another i may have thought about painting hillsides for the locals......Thank God i dont!!!!!

ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see that you feel your post has no bearing on the Audiences link. It could have. All those films that have an artist as the central protagonist are ripe for reinterrogation. Have you seen Woody Allen's latest film? In Vicky Cristina Barcelona Javier Bardem plays the artist and the role include every cliché in the book. Your audience could be those who have been influenced by fictional acounts of what it is to be an artist. I.e. artists.
