Have you ever thought of changing your comments application?<br /><br />That Turner painting reminds me of one of my doggy poops.

But apparently there was a small winding staircase, there in the wing somewhere, where one could get special permission to see the sketches, etc. The date was 1987, I think.

The 'white glove' areas would normally be where only professional artists would go and possibly be handling some smaller pieces; you may have been specially privileged!<br />They have recently opened the Turner Contemporary in Margate on the Kent coast in a town that he was associated with.bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-59782083501640174612015-04-18T05:23:45.466+01:002015-04-18T05:23:45.466+01:00Hi Dixie.

I was amazed by their size. We entered the Tate dripping wet as we had been caught in a downpour. I was cold and angry because I had waited so long to see them and here we were. . . . There was a provision that I did not check where you could actually see sketches by Turner, after donning white gloves, of course. I wonder if they still do that.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-60510497027322014302015-04-17T22:04:02.159+01:002015-04-17T22:04:02.159+01:00Such a marvelous painting.

I see the hare, but not readily his facial expression.<br /><br />The train engine almost resembles a nice bottle of Cianti. You might be correct about his vision and the sky. Still I find it quite glorious, as if the sun's gold has bathed the clouds!<br /><br />One of my favorite painters! Thank you, (smile).
