Michelangelo’s awful painting
I was shocked when I first saw this. It is supposed to be a woman. No amount of spin will convince me. If it was a one off I might forgive him but it wasn't.

Felix-Maurice Charpentier, 'Flours Que Amavo'
There are a few sculptors who go the extra mile. My list is not complete yet, but Bernini and Clodion are good examples of what I mean and equate in Music to Bach and Mozart. Here is a new addition to my list Felix-Maurice Charpentier 1858-1928.In 19

Childhood Sweethearts
Some years ago now we were invited to dinner at Christmas by a family not too far away. They were about twenty of them and six or seven of us so it was ‘fun’. Their kitchen was enormous with a huge table in the middle covered in paperwork and lit

Reid Dick in Regents Park
Michael Copeland sent me this picture of another work by Reid Dick RA which I was not aware of. Clearly a delightful childhood moment captured (even if no one believes you about the frog)! Note how he has caught the head; children hold their heads di

Purple Basil and 'where are the butterflies this year'?
I would expect to see many more butterflies at this time of year.That's about all we have today!Beneath my younger daughter's 'man' she did when she was 15, is a poor example of purple basil in need of water!

Can anyone identify this one?I love the earthiness, truthfulness, you can almost smell her! She's not beautiful, she does not have the ideal figure but we have that little extra magic which is often missed in a small photo.

Drawing techniques, Art and practice
Some books increase in value when second-hand, here is one. There are a myriad of books on drawing. A few are very good. This is one of them and the one I would probably choose if I was only allowed one on a desert island. Text by Karel Teissig an

This delightful work by Paul Philippe (1870-1930) would do justice to Michelangelo’s adage that one should be able to roll a marble down a hill without the limbs breaking off! 63cm high it is perhaps the best I have seen of his work to date. Than

Violence in the arts, Pierre Puget, Milo of Crotona
