As promised, a nice work of art to act as my test card whilst my transmissions stop for a week or so. To enlarge it just click on the image. This is by JMW Turner, rapidly rivalling Van Gogh as my favourite artist, in a tight race with Monet, Dali, Kandinsky and Whistler (hmm...... a league table of artists maybe....... sounds interesting). Anyway, its called the Fighting Temeraire and is frankly...fabulous.

Its my current wallpaper on both my home and work PC's. Turner captures the colour of an evening beautifully, the sunset colours rich, reflecting on the calm sea and the sad sight of this beautiful fighting sail ship being tugged back into its presumed retirement or early death by the ugly new fangled, smelly polluting steam tug shows the juxtaposition between old and new ages, between effective simplicity and efficient complexity, also highlighting perhaps the futire price to pay for the environment. In this case Turner may even be trying to show how angry the environment is by the fiery rage of colours in the evening sky. Sad and simply breathtaking.

Have a nice week y'all, Later GrocerJack
