   I wonder what the old chap would say about much of what some people call art today? He’d probably say, “Oh… there’s a pile of bricks… there’s a messy bed… there’s a few coloured dots on a bit of white paper… there’s a dead animal… there’s a pile of trash… Eh… Where’s the art kept around here?”

   I too concur with both of you.

   Oh No! So much agreement all round means it is going to snow tomorrow…

     James and Andrew – like two peas in a pod really?
     • CherryPie says:

       January 19, 2014 at 11:22 pm

       Well… that is not how I see the two of you…

         I am sure we would have a grand old evening if ever actually stuck in a pub together… (the two old chaps, that is, although you’d probably have a good laugh too, both at us and with us, I expect). Goodnight.
         • CherryPie says:

           January 19, 2014 at 11:38 pm

           I think we would all have a good laugh together about all sorts of things

           Less of the old chap business… I (although not a chap) am not ready to be old yet!!!

           Goodnight and Sweet Dreams

             Okay. Will dream of us three youngsters having a merry drink together. Hope it doesn’t morph into a nightmare.

               I like that idea My positive thoughts will ensure it doesn’t turn into a nightmare

   I have had a very pleasing look though your pictures of this peaceful place, Cherie
   • CherryPie says:

     January 20, 2014 at 11:28 pm

     I am glad you enjoyed the place through my eyes

   How better to do that than with a Celtic cross!
   • CherryPie says:

     January 20, 2014 at 11:29 pm

     I was quite taken with this cross

   This is a magnificent Celtic cross… and very well framed Cherie… the mould growing on it speaks to its age….peter:)
   • CherryPie says:

     January 20, 2014 at 11:31 pm

     I am glad you like it I wondered if anyone would notice the mossy tufts on the top of the cross. I thought they made the cross even more interesting than it would have been without them.

   I am surprised Andrew leaves it to me to mention that art does have no aims; some artists have, though . . . sometimes.
   • CherryPie says:

     January 20, 2014 at 11:33 pm

     True Art comes from within and is expressed externally
     • Sean Jeating says:

       January 20, 2014 at 11:37 pm

       Q.e.d.: CherryPie is more precise than Aristotle was. : )
   • Andrew MacLaren-Scott says:

     January 21, 2014 at 11:10 pm

     I don’t quite understand Sean (unusually).
     • Sean Jeating says:

       January 21, 2014 at 11:42 pm

       Now that’s unusual, indeed, Andrew. : )
       Trying with other words: When producing an artwork the producer (artist) may have an aim, (e.g., making people laugh or cry or / and think; causing a scandal; making much money, earning fame). The art(work) itself does have no aim at all; it is (just) a product.

       Well, and as I noticed that you had already commented, I was surprised – and at the same time delighted : ) – that you would have defered to your ‘brother in nitpicking’. : )
       • Andrew MacLaren-Scott says:

         January 22, 2014 at 3:08 pm

         Ah… you were referring to art, the thing, Sean; while I was thinking of art, the activity.

   That is such a powerful symbol,yet also very beautiful despite how imposing it is.
   • CherryPie says:

     January 21, 2014 at 9:33 pm

     It looks imposing because of the angle I used It is situated in amongst a lot of architecture.

   i find the patterns on the cross very intriguing. so much symmetry in it too
   • CherryPie says:

     January 22, 2014 at 8:53 pm

     It is a lovely cross in a lovely setting.
