“Purple Moonlight” by Sneddonia
which colors obtain
grueling portraitures of pain
black on purple serves
agonized canvasses well
slashing eyes with sharp edges

Do you know I spent a good few hours in the new Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate this morning and over lunch and felt a Philistine. Thank goodness I came home to read these 19 words that paint a better picture than any (including some Turner’s I’m guessing no one else wanted) of those I ‘looked’ at there.

I well know that feeling – having often been “lost” in the face of some art

Just a little? Not slathered on? I also have horseradish cheddar cheese, and my very fave–smoked gouda. And we have sweet onion bagels on offer (or sourdough rye bread, very nice)–no lettuce or other green stuff…
