the ART thang....warning - a long post!

How great is art? 

I love it. Seeing it, appreciating it, critiquing it, and especially absorbing it via the great outdoors, or through the arty types themselves. I have met some really, really interesting people through my work, and loved getting an insight into their practice.

A little dinner party last night degraded into a rather entertaining critique of the artworks hanging round here, so I thought I would share! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. Apologies to some of the artists whose names, or names of artworks I cannot remember. Bad form I know, I will try harder next time.

Today I rode my bike to work, and home again this arvo...and it doesn't get much better than that!
