I had such an inspiring studio visit with Novie. that girl is amazing. looking at her work I'm reminded of the James Joyce quote "Art has to reveal to us ideas, formless spiritual essences. The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring? The painting of Gustave Moreau is painting of ideas, the deepest poetry of Shelley, the works of Hamlet bring our mind into contact with the eternal wisdom, Plato's world of ideas.

All the rest is the speculation of schoolboys for schoolboys"
