Critique of Ruth Kaldor's Painting
"This is quite beautiful, beautiful shape.
I love how you've set up those tankers;
you painted around them. Beautifully done."
"When is a painting finished?
When it looks complete. Watercolor
is an incomplete complete medium."
Caldbeck Gallery Evening
at 7:30 pm David gave a talk about
the paintings in his exhibition

like this for two-and-a-half-years.
