He was new to it and I was incredibly cynical about it, having spent my uni years at art school. I moved down here to Melbourne soon after that conversation and over the last 5 years his work has blossomed. The close up is of one of his many paintings of the massive cumquat tree in spring. You should see the size of the tree - I will do an arty shot for you - but unfortunately I can't take credit for growing it as it was well and truly established long before we moved in. <BR/><BR/>I must say that the Artist's passion for painting has rubbed off a little on me and I find myself going back to doing the odd drawing now and again, something that will hopefully keep happening this year! <BR/><BR/>Thanks Lucy for reminding me how lucky I am!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24700217.post-7116867852103470772007-02-19T20:49:00.000+10:302007-02-19T20:49:00.000+10:30Must be the Irish in me, but give me potatoes ever...Must be the Irish in me, but give me potatoes every day of the week and I'll be happy. Your patatas a lo pobre look absolutely delicious. And why, I want to know, do your cumquats look so good when ours are shrivelled little specimens...<BR/><BR/>BTW, love the close up of the painting...I need to know more about 'the artist'. Oh, and purslane - do you know how lucky you are????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
