painting hamlet 2

Although I feel happiest when I am painting what I see, or rather, trying to accurately paint what I think I see, I like, from time, to have a go at something different.  Recently I have found both rest and stimulation from thinking about Hamlet by tracing in paint and drawings what is beyond words but starts off on the canvas as a line or a blotch of colour that comes out of my thinking about that wonderful play. I enjoy watching tv programmes about art because of the historical content and the people involved, and the enthusiasm of the presenters. But because of the ineffable qualities of art, I better stop now or I too shall fall into the trap of tranlating what is untranslatable...so, ladies and gentlemen, Queen Gertrude, teranteraaa
