Dunno if Robin appreciates Dadd or not, but prolly does. Dadd's +Fairy
Feller's Master Stroke+ strikes me as a monument in art: a pensioner's
allotment of carpeted crops overstood with all the seduction of lyrical,
direct sensuality and politic(al) murder-threats. The focus, I think, is
(center mid-foreground) the tiny seated white-bearded man in his emotional
chaos-cocoon - the painter, p'raps, as he feels/sees himself in the Bethlem
limbo.
