This may bomb. Here's an idea: we choose a book, a piece of music and a piece of art. We read, listen and look and discuss. Selfishly, as I'm reading it presently, I suggest 'half a yellow sun' by Achebe as the novel - am only 100 pages in and it's excellent. First piece of music and art mentioned is chosen too. Who wants to play?
Errm OK.
Canaletto btw.
Have you heard about the new craze for adults ? Colouring books the ones we had as kids but now with more intricate designs,it is all the rage I've heard.People with stressful lives etc claim it relaxes them and there are even colouring book clubs on the go. Can you picture the scene great intellectuals all sat round a table colouring in with classical music on in the background ? No nor me !This may bomb.

When I first read about it I thought it was a wind up or something but no it is all the rage now.My young neice who's eight loves them and is always colouring in with One Direction playing while she does them !Yeah, I don't really get it either. I'll just take the music if I want to relax. Won't be classical though....
Think that just about sums it up !It's a castle, with people mooching about in front of it on a sunny day.
How'd I do?

Are you sure it's not Caludon Castle ? As the houses at the back look like Arch Road in Wyken !Warwick castle. I prefer this to the Venetian canal scenes canalleto painted. I knew he had spent time in England but was unaware he had visited so close to home. I wonder if it is meant to be a true likeness or not as the left of the picture I think is out of proportion to the reality of today. Not sure where the areas of shade in foreground are supposed to come from.

No it is Warwick Castle I was kidding as Caludon Castle was my old school.He painted it in 17 something so Arch Road wouldn't have been built then ! By the way young Maddison is ex Caludon.I thought it was Guy's Tower but perhaps not

I probably went there when his granddad was in short trousers ! But it was great if you liked sport especially football and Rugby.We seemed to win all the competitions and in one year we won the lot and seven of us played for Coventry Boys so it was a great time to be there. Bobby Gould was there a few years before me but he too has only positive things to say about the school.Presumably you left Caludon long before Madders was even thought of

I think this may bomb MrTrench. Not too many intellectuals on here! (*** grabs coat and runs like buggery!!***)
Is it our castle though? Or are we just renting it off someone while we try to find somewhere to build our own castle?
Is it a metaphor for the village people !If we're going to examine art I really think we should consider this masterpiece.
What's it trying to say to us? What can we say about its depth and texture?

The metaphor Is we are living a dog's life.
