Trees in Snow with Pond (2018), oil on canvas, 12" x 16". This painting has found a new home, a private collection in Wales with a bespoke frame. Always a kick to see a painting find its place.

@ElliottVerney Thank you. I think you'll especially like the recent paintings when they are displayed at the end of the year. :-)

@PaqWilly Yes. And it's a relief to disperse work. You hear horror stories about studio fires destroying whole oeuvres!

There are movements but they are to do with content, meaning, group identity and so on, not mainly aesthetics. Artists are wary of movements based on aesthetics: we've had aesthetics hijacked and repurposed by subversive actors. We've seen flags subverted into symbols of those hostile to the people. Same with art movements.

It’s very odd that despite all the abundance of this century, it still lacks an aesthetic, no major non political and purely artistic movement, no "new avant garde," despite all the complains about individualism, conformity and "community" have never been so overwhelmingly present, weird. Maybe some movements are taking shape and I don’t see them yet.

Thanks to those who turned out Saturday for my talk. Great atmosphere and thoughtful questions. Meeting in real life shows to venues and organisers that there is organic demand for non-state culture. If you have a chance to support these events, try to do so.

Was a pleasure meeting and listening to @AdamsArtist yesterday. An artist with depth of art knowledge and skill. The art world has changed substantially in the last 50 years and sometimes feels like a lost cause, yet Alexander Adams remains a relentless advocate of craft, vision and spirit. Art work: Boy (2004)

@ElliottVerney What do you think of the frame? FB preferred wide gilded frames and glazing. He was upset that the Guggenheim framed a triptych in one frame.
