I think you have exposed the real meaning of 'true colours', no pun intended.<br />After one day at the World's Biggest Confectionery Trade Fair I felt a bit queasy - it turns out that one can have too much of a good thing!bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-33918500123657353192016-02-13T22:19:21.677+00:002016-02-13T22:19:21.677+00:00Hello 'walk2write', thanks for visiting, I...Hello 'walk2write', thanks for visiting, I will pay you a visit soon! <i>The Agony and the Ecstacy</i> is a classic work of it's kind but a bit heavy going. I never saw the film because I just can't for the life of me see big, butch Charlton Heston as Michelangelo! (But I think Kirk Douglas did well as Van Gogh in the same author's <i>Lust For Life</i>).bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-15099439726740035032016-02-13T17:09:56.787+00:002016-02-13T17:09:56.787+00:00Hi Bazza - glad to see this work here ... and I ha...Hi Bazza - glad to see this work here ... and I hadn't noted the brain element or thought about the picture much ... but it is interesting what art has survived, what mediums were used etc., and what happens when the work is able to be cleaned up ... showing us its true colours.<br /><br />I did a talk on Leonardo .. but he covered so many artistic and creative subjects ... and on Monday I am talking about Rembrandt - I live and learn! Fascinating to come here and see the art you decide to let us know about ... <br /><br />It's good to see you back .. but also good to know you've retired and have been 'gainfully employed eating sweets or drinking wine ever since!!' ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-49834273167739230492016-02-13T16:20:28.736+00:002016-02-13T16:20:28.736+00:00I hopped on over here from Ms. HIlary's blog. ...I hopped on over here from Ms. HIlary's blog.
