It has been a very quiet week so far, so I took the time to copy some of the Guest book entries to share with you. Most people who find the courage to walk through the door like what they see, others don’t seem to be offended by the nudity. Others turn around and mumble something incoherently as they shuffle off.
It is very interesting to watch the visitor’s reactions when they walk through the doors of the gallery. Out of respect for their varied and right of opinion, I will not repeat some of the comments I have overheard, so just let’s say some are nice to hear and others remind me that I have to count to 10! Grrrr
I have found a quote that probably sums it up perfectly: "Surely nothing has to listen to so many stupid remarks as a painting in a museum." ~Edmond & Jules de Goncourt~
But I guess that is the great value of art – what some people like, others find offensive or crude. Guess the same goes for life!
