I like the sound of your “Wine and art Tour” wish you did one a bit closer to home!
Bob, I did Foundation at LSAD with you in 1977, and from what I’ve seen since of Art Schools in various countries, what you taught us was the best basis for being able to interpret and understand the world in a visual way that we could possibly have got. In short, Bob, you were right and I was wrong – I’m happy to say!
