Tiger, tiger

Today's the day ...................... to frame

Wherever we are, you'll find Will scouring the charity shops for pictures.

When I say that, it's not the pictures he's interested in - it's the frames round them, that he will re-use for his own paintings.  In fact he usually never looks at what's in the frame and so when the shop assistant says, "That's a lovely picture ......" - he is usually taken by surprise.

He unknowingly brought this tiger home the other day - and while I'm not saying I would hang it on the wall or anything - there was something quite striking about it.  There was just the one time that he bought an actual painting.  It was very simple - two colours and along the lines of a Rothko.  It was exactly the colours of our new settee - so I had to confiscate it and hang it on the wall.

Will thought I was completely mad - but it's still there today - and who knows, maybe it's a Rothko original .....................?
