Robin Tanner's work is rather ethereal isn't it, no straight lines and plenty of atmosphere. In my art classes I have discovered I haven't the patience for the long process of etchings! but I really want to be able to convey something of real local places as Tanner has.

Ah those lovely beads. Did you see the one from East Kennett? It looked like a delicious sweet. It's all materialism I suppose but you'd like to think that the owners really loved those possessions because of their beauty and rarity, not just for the bling factor.
