Never heard of him, sorry.

[tomsk]

An amazing artist and he was killed in the 1st World War...

[Icey]

Most unfortunate for him. Quite a few "arty" people hail from round your way, don't they?

[tomsk]

well,
Like you said once there are more people in the City and more opportunities ..

[Icey]

Yes, but you've said quite a few times about famous people who come from areas around you.

[tomsk]

Yes...
he had great talent...
life is a strange thing..but wonderful..

[Icey]

I don't think about that much. I just live it. : )

[tomsk]

I reflect very much ...

[Icey]

I find that doesn't do much good, T. It doesn't solve anything. I'd rather get up and do something, than dwell on what's gone or how to put the world to rights.

[tomsk]

off you go then..

[Icey]

Old hat - I've done it! : )

[tomsk]

can you paint? are you arty farty?

[Icey]

I love painting, Alf.

[tomsk]

So do I though I haven't in ages ,
do you used oils, water colour or mixed media?

[Icey]

All sorts. I haven't quite mastered oils to any great degree, but I like doing still life pics using water colours, and like using acrylic paints for deeper colour depth.

It's an expensive hobby now though, isn't it? I bought someone an art set for Christmas, and although it worked out cheaper than buying everything individually, it still cost a lot of money, but painting's this person's great joy, so they really appreciated what they got.

[tomsk]

yes it is expensive,
Do you put the brush inbetween your toes as you paint whilst on the computer?

[Icey]

Do you hold yours in your trunk and produce the same?

[tomsk]

I'm too busy to paint...

[Icey]

Too lazy!!! You haven't finished decorating yet, have you??? : )
