When in Palma at the weekend to cool down as there is a heatwave over there we hit the free art gallery and saw my first Salvidor Dali and a Picasso Other artists work too but trying to understand some of it is tricky to me, where's posh Brian Sewell when you need help and why does the like of Vetriano get such a hard time from critics

But I'm more a living sculpture kinda guy..

The Henry Moore's at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Hepworth's in St Ives are wonderful to run your hands over.

including Andy Goldsworthy, James Turrell (amazing) David Nash and Charles Jencks

I absolutely [i]love[/i] Andy Goldsworthy's work, so much work goes into works that use only what is available nearby, and most are so ephemeral, existing only for hours, or days at most.

Just using fallen leaves, ice and stones, but breathtakingly beautiful.

Photo realism to me is the highest form of human Art Technique,

It's just draughtsmanship, the visually unaware love it because it's easy to digest and the process is one they can easily comprehend. One of a honed execution with a defined goal of precision.
It's visual Coldplay for the easily pleased.
