The paintings of
Patrick Caulfield (1936-2005) from the 1960s are characterised by flat areas of colour with objects defined by outlines. 'Pottery' is probably his most famous painting from that decade. His style would change permanently in the 1970s with highly complex paintings that play with definitions of reality and artifice. From static colourful pots

I love how you show the unexpected! These neon sheep would certainly brighten anyone's rainy day (and even more so on this sunshiny day). I have grown to appreciate Turner's use of light - it looks soft, but I'm sure it was much harsher in real life.
That light in Venice...!
And those bright sheep would made my day :)
I like the range of light you've shared today
All sorts of brights and lights! I am not very familiar with Patrick Caulfield, but looking him up I do love his blue After Lunch.
The Venice postcard is stunning. The sheep are the best!
So beautiful. Warm greetings from a retired lady living in Montreal, Canada ❤️ 😊 🇨🇦
