Do any of you collect art or have a favourite artist?

Why won't it let me type "g a l l e r i e s" ?

Because I think it is a derogatory slang term for white Caucasian with Hispanic African roots who were born in Ireland out of love affair between two women who turned out to be two men from Bogota.
I think Omega...🤔

How did you come by the rings and is there any interesting context? I have a late Roman era silver ring that came from a dig in Poland and a few Roman coins found in Cambridge, love the history.

I have an interest in indigenous people in general. Was always fascinated by the Tuareg people from that region. They were fantastic silversmiths. Produced some beautiful work. I bought one years ago in Morrocco and have been adding to my collection since. It is individual not mass produced. So unique I guess.
The Sahara is a mystery in itself.

This is the type of stuff I have from Duncan Macgregor, boats and coastal scenes, he paints with a knife I believe.

All interesting pieces Mick. The last one, it’s the light on the water, very well done.

J M W Turner, originals… 😎 Maybe a Constable will knock on my door soon!? 🤔😜

Joking aside, I do like the aforementioned. John Martin from the same period is a favourite of mine (”Plains of heaven” eg).
