I'd find myself stopping in front of paintings before I realised they were by Sickert. <br /><br />There was another artist, William Roberts, who came close. I couldn't stop looking at his wife.The Spinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767961932107057186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-27815705573638563492011-04-21T11:05:26.152+01:002011-04-21T11:05:26.152+01:00We've all been there.

Feels like two paintings stuck jarringly together about the middle, which I suppose might be the point.The Spinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767961932107057186noreply@blogger.com
