Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
