My DH's views on Picasso has seen the two of us having abit of a heated arguement! Years ago I took him to the Picasso gallery in Barcelona where in the first set of rooms where exhibited his pencil sketches & early paintings of "real things". To which DH said "Oh he could draw then!" I can not print his comments when viewing the later pieces! It was a surprise that he joined me to view the Klimt exhibition and even more surprising that he enjoyed it. The parts about the Men who financially supported Klimt seemed to appeal to him - I suppose he can relate to them!!<BR/>best wishesGarnered Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173741195974475488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129786.post-8262710338734833902008-08-23T21:59:00.000+01:002008-08-23T21:59:00.000+01:00I can only say that I was thrilled to get a 'Judge...I can only say that I was thrilled to get a 'Judge's Choice' award but as I don't know the Judge concerned, I've no idea what her work is like. <BR/>Interested to hear your DH's comments as I'm thinking of allowing my DH along one year (but for one day only!) I too rated Dorothy Caldwells' work way above Ricky Timms ( and I supect my DH would too) <BR/>In regard to Judge's comments - I'd take them with a pinch of salt and not too much to heart. One quilt I entered had widely varying comments ( from 'Good' to 'Needs attention' )about the quilting which unusually for me I had deliberately kept sparse as I felt it was in keeping with the piece. Only you can truly know what is right.magsramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559934058887308651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129786.post-62533612490936511552008-08-23T21:22:00.000+01:002008-08-23T21:22:00.000+01:00This is perfect example of just how personal and ...This is perfect example of just how personal and subjective art is. Quilt Pixie is right about DH knowing what he likes an understanding why. That you know what you like and understand why as well underlines that you are BOTH right! Now, to agree on something to hang in the lounge might pose a small problem. hee hee ;-)Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129786.post-36509866690269571632008-08-23T20:03:00.000+01:002008-08-23T20:03:00.000+01:00I also think your comment about the Judge's Choice...I also think your comment about the Judge's Choice is right on! I was walking through our local quilt show looking at which quilts got the ribbons and wondering why, when my friend turned around where she could see all of the quilts down the aisle and asked if I noticed anything about the quilts that had ribbons on them . . . they all had a major portion of beige or brown in them! I think the judge had no time for any of the bright colorful well done quilts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129786.post-34623654232145643922008-08-23T16:45:00.000+01:002008-08-23T16:45:00.000+01:00Ducking for cover - but I agree with your dh.

I could hang one of her pieces in my house and live comfortably with it for years. Can't say the same about Bohemian Rhapsody. Your husband has a very well developed artistic sense.<BR/><BR/>I think the story about the Judge's Choice is quite accurate, however, I have seen them select something totally unlike their own work.<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying your Quilt show posts.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129786.post-2510354587560316702008-08-23T15:20:00.000+01:002008-08-23T15:20:00.000+01:00At least there was something DH liked -- and he un...At least there was something DH liked -- and he understands why.
