I like this painting and I love the quote - somehow Jeanette Winterson often discovers and describes real truths so sharply and incisively.

Reading Ronnie's comments I guess he is well known in Australia so I must look him up and fill my knowledge gap. It is an arresting painting to accompany an arresting quote.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-88876740779539175732013-03-15T00:22:49.070+10:002013-03-15T00:22:49.070+10:00incredibly profound -
