JMW Turner, Venice with the Salute, c1844Oil on Canvas, Tate Britain
How about into this piece of art?
As the lady next to us said: 'You can't possibly see what's in that'.
Or can you?
And in a blink, he, it and I are gone. Nowhere to be found.

Gesa, I'm glad you made it to the Turner show---hope you enjoyed it! I overheard one excited viewer commenting about this painting: "It's beyond Impressionism---it's almost Minimalism!" He's right. Those late Turners would be at home in any gallery of contemporary art.

Ok, I jealous. I love Turner. Thanks for your post.
Yes - I very much agree Cate, and thanks so much for the poke towards Edinburgh. I'm very glad I went and saw these ones. Once I started to overlook the umbrellas, dresses and people in the earlier ones I could enjoy them much more too. It is so interesting how he moves through and outside convention throughout his life. Very interest.
Hello and thank you, Pat - sorry for the slowness in commenting back :)
