Do you know, I very nearly posted 'Caravaggio's, Narcissus'. Think I will now as it is interesting to compare the two.

He, He,great minds. lol
did think of posting both together, now we have between us.
I think Dali must have been a great fan of Caravaggio, you can see it when you look at these two paintings together.

Ha ha is there a pun in there somewhere?
Anyway I once copied that MC Escher Drawing it took me 3 hours straight... still have it somewhere!!!

I love the way they used the art work in the film Labyrinth aswell, and Geigers work in Species... The piece of art from Geiger I like I couldn't find... don't know what it's called but it has very Catholic undertones!

the film Labyrinth was a piece of art in it's own right, excellent stuff.
Well back down to earth, off up to look after the gallery. One day? just maybe? Well we all hope of discovering the next original talent
