I was just sitting here watching Mr Bloom’s Nursery with Mr Toes while working on my laptop and my ears flicker with interest as I noticed that the story is about the vegetables in Mr Boom’s nursery taking part in an art competition. The competition was won by Joan the Fennel, with a very unexpected and accidental abstract representation of the ‘Wee McGregors’ (and it was very good). I was amused by the fact that the art competition judge was French. Is being French a prerequisite to being a good judge of art or having an artistic temperament? It was also interesting that the winning entry was art created by accident, so drawing as a verb.
Joan the artistic Fennel.
