We changed the paintings in Simon's window in Bath. It's good to have them on show. I've entered the large abstract, top row in the centre, "Save the last dance", in the National Open Art competition. It took most of the morning to complete the entry form, hugely aggravating, I nearly gave up. It took ages to get the picture the right size and then you have to provide an Art CV and a 30 word Art Statement - here's my statement about this painting, and if you think this sounds mystifying you should read some of the others!
An interpretation of the romantic song by the Drifters, combining an upbeat palette with a slight ambivalence in the abbreviated title, hoping the last dance is “for me”.
