I did mention the surfing image but the one I found was too small to be of use.Haji babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619515066447546979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-35096740631124910552016-07-17T13:59:41.424+01:002016-07-17T13:59:41.424+01:00I noticed that a ebay listing has gone live with a...I noticed that a ebay listing has gone live with a picture od "Ladies Surfing" by this artist which I have not seen beforeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-81124088599341390932012-07-03T05:19:59.706+01:002012-07-03T05:19:59.706+01:00Me and my spookily prescient ways....as for a blog...Me and my spookily prescient ways....as for a blog, I couldn't possibly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-62499173737855328452012-07-03T04:35:31.928+01:002012-07-03T04:35:31.928+01:00It's very easy to underestimate the British an...It's very easy to underestimate the British and their downbeat, dogged ways. I do it all the time. As did Napolean.<br /><br />What you say here is uncannily to the point. There is a watercolour by Pearse which describes almost exactly your Weymouth experience.

There is a kind of naive talent there, without being concerned with technique, artistry or externalized ideology. She has captured a moment and a time, with a technique very much of the time and the moment. <br /><br />I remember visiting Weymouth in the dead of winter, twenty years ago, and the town was basically empty except for the seawall and the pier for the boats to Jersey, which was lined with people looking out into the gloom. Being a new-worlder myself, I found it to be the most exceptionally odd thing. The next day, the same thing. No traffic, or cars or people wandering in front of shops. Just drizzling rain, wind and rain but people wandering along insouciantly on the waterfront with umbrellas. I stayed there for a couple of weeks, and after my initial astonishment subsided, I appreciated the pleasure in a past-time that costs nothing; takes nothing and simply requires people to walk and observe. <br /><br />Observation is one of the key aspects of art, and perhaps that is why so many of the British artists have it.<br /><br />CliveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
