Hi Hermes, I am so pleased you are back on board - a rather inappropriate for something as wafty as the internet but I quite like the contrast between the trad and the current. Anyway, I wanted to say looking at this post and the one above it that both are gathering - I wonder if there is a deep subconscious theme here??? (lol) cheers, catmint
P.S. I like the paintings too, esp. the mushroom gatherers.

Thank you. I really liked this, but did you see the price it fetched!
