Painting



Hello again. This is my favourite painting in the world. I found it in an art gallery in Edinburgh last year. It is by John Bellany.

I am not sure what this picture is trying to say, but that man does NOT look happy about having that fish on his head. Would you be happy if you had a fish on YOUR head? Probably not. Think about it. It would smell for one thing.

I wonder if the fish is dead or alive in this picture?
Either way it would smell.

Anyway, if you would like to find out more about the artist, you should visit his website:
http://www.bellany.com/, because I feel a little sneaky putting one of his paintings up if I don't link him.

So there we go. Respect for artists is important, because, one day, an artist might paint you, and if you do not show them any respect, they will make you look fat in the painting.

Trust me, I know.

  1. I'd be pretty ecstatic if I had a fish on my head , to be brutally honest. I'd probably eat it. What with being a cat and all...

  2. ah for true for true. I would be interested to know what having a fish on your head would feel like anyways. Cold and slimy I presume.
