    It's only worth what someone's prepared to pay @Hostafan1 ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Ah, but is it foolish to spend ones money on art?
    If you like something, and can afford it,it is worth spending your money on it.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    But it's not particularly good @punkdoc ...but hey, it showed up in a gardening programme. People think the rubbish Vettriano paints is worth their money. As schools stop focusing on teaching art subjects the visual illiteracy of the nation continues to plummet.

    @amancalledgeorge- yes, but just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others won't.
    That's how it works.
    I personally hate things by Constable.  :)
    That's why I don't have any hanging on my walls  ;)

    I think that getting onto what is good art and what is not, is a very dangerous route to go down.
    If I like a painting, it must be good.  :)

    @Fairygirl I fell in love with Constable’s art after seeing his collection of cloud paintings. I just love watching clouds!

    But that's exactly the point isn't it @pitter-patter? We all like different things, and would spend our money in diffreent ways  :)

    I think our taste can change as we get older too - mine certainly has. There's things I like now that I wouldn't want, and lots of things that I would want now that I wouldn''t when I was younger. 
    Problem is - I need Elton John's income to do that  :D

    Indeed!  :) A dear friend of mine lives in Edinburgh and I visit him sometimes in the summer. He always says to me that the clouds in Scotland are the best. I’m starting to believe him. I’m definitely taking a lot of photos of clouds when I’m there!
