The demise of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre/Company has been predicted for a number of years now, yet somehow this once great theatre company continues to exist. Gutted and a mere shadow of its former self it clings to the idea that 37 (?) plays will sustain it to the end. It swallows up a grant that a quite number of smaller theatre companies would survive on and pushes a system of weird ‘repertory’ (my opinion), that is slowly killing it. The time has obviously come for someone to be brave (and take a drop in salary) and make the decision that would have its vast resources (buildings/theatres/rooms etc) dedicated to all theatre, and not to one (great as he may be) playwright.

ARTISTS... There is no telling or predicting people's taste. You cannot dictate how a viewer of your art is going to react. If you paint only to sell, then you are fighting a losing battle. You must learn to paint for yourself because the 'market' is unpredictable and unknown. What feeds collectors today, can be forgotten and worthless tomorrow. What you are looking for is reaction & connection. SO...  paint for yourself with all your heart and all your mind. DO NOT LOSE HOPE. The connection with a stranger will come Patience is the key.

A rising number of President Donald Trump's own voters think he's responsible for higher prices, according to new data.

A great revelation has come to me overnight that would enable the Royal Shakespeare theatre to immediately cease their most recent round of choice and disappointing redundancies. The plot would involve supplying targeted education establishments (schools), with series 1 & 2 of the BBC's 'Upstart Crow'. Written by Ben Elton, these series would provide everything the pupils of these chosen educational establishments (schools), need to know concerning Shakespeare and his works (borrowed/fabricated or otherwise), thus relieving the RSC's need for a so-called education department that we all know is actually a ploy to fill their coffers with Grant Monies.

These are the paintings of Ian Frederick Harris. Sometimes identified as an OUTSIDER artist or a NAIVE artist Ian doesn't much care. He hopes you enjoy his work
