JUDGEMENT DAY
Call it artistic attrition
But I decline to budge.
In a poetry competition
Who's there to judge the judge?

Go figure? Very appropriate when I look at the artistry (in its visible
sense) on display in the paintings by Canaletto and others - then
at those from more modern exponents of the brushstroke like Picasso, Dali and the UK's own Lowry. Of course, all subject matter
is just that - subjective. The primary skill is the application of the paint and the ability to achieve those wonderful grades between light and shade that the old masters displayed to such brilliant effect in
marketing their material to the well-heeled very selective audiences of their day when such paintings were viewed as valued indications of an owner's social status and taste in that world.
