Magpie 192 November 3, 2013 Perception

Resurrection Reunion 2, 1945, Sir Stanley Spencer

It's a curious place
This little town
It's quite odd and really
Turned upside down
The artist paints Resurrection
While others think 
It just depends on one's perception

    It is an odd place, and an odd painting! Just as you've said.

    I am pleasantly surprised at how much I learn from Magpie challenges ... I didn't know this artist. You are right about perspective, Kathe.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
