J.M.W. Turner: ‘My Business is to Paint What I See’

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

What a treat, my word !!! I had the immense fortune of having seen most of the paintings wonderfully described by Alastair Sooke and shown on this wonderful video by Christie's. Thank you so very much !!! I'd also like to thank Dr Harriet Drummond for her amazing dissertation on Turner's unique watercolours made in Switzerland, the likes of which I've never seen before.

His Late Phase..The PERFECT phase (for me)... He ACCEPTS his Mortality..and says "Fuck it" ..I've made my money.. time to Express what "I've Learned". NO MORE..PEOPLE PLEASING.

Genius ....his "garbled " delivery in speeches probably was because his mind worked faster than he could get it out ...

Camera work is frustrating, would have preferred longer, more coherent focus on the paintings.
