He taught me a great deal about art and life in general. Interestingly another of his pronouncements was that the great thing about education was finding that your teachers are often wrong! I've heard it said that he was an influence on the early music of the Pink Floyd, he certainly would have taught Syd Barrett and Roger Waters who both went on to art school before becoming famous.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-38510602325860658782012-04-01T15:06:27.080+01:002012-04-01T15:06:27.080+01:00Beautiful images, John.

Most interesting work, John. I have found that anything that challenges the status quo will be resisted by small-minded people. Every great scientific discovery has been greeted with resistance from the then scientific establishment, or at least from the church (which at one time was the same body).Wayfarin' Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806995797136803377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-22974422849029513572012-03-30T22:05:33.717+01:002012-03-30T22:05:33.717+01:00Yes well your art teacher hadn't reckoned on t...Yes well your art teacher hadn't reckoned on the changes in technology; who could've imagined where we are today with it all? Your images are those of Pete Turner or …? You've beckoned a creative spark; we call all try a little bit of this John!
