"What has 🇫🇷 ever given to the world?", tweet some anti 🇫🇷people. To the growing list I'd like to add: Ballet (originated in 🇫🇷 royal courts), language (some 🇫🇷 words are common parlance in 🇬🇧) & artists. Encapsulating all 3 is Dega's (🇫🇷) famous "Dancer with bouquet" painting..
A painting I did in my juvenile days in Oz, which symbolises how I feel about the state of things in the UK now: an empty row boat in turbulent waters, surrounded by rocks, a chilling landscape, precipice close by, one oar completely adrift. (Click on photo to see all of it).
