The Humble Fabulist 
A great collection!
And not a cowboy amongst them😎
The Picasso is something special.
The Francis Bacon is particularly meaty.

I’ll have some cowboys coming up later on, just for you David 🙂 But, I agree, that Picasso is fantastic! I’m always amazed of what Picasso could produce when he was actually painting!

Both Picasso and Dali were trained in old
school realism. To then go on to reinvent.
Viewing their early works, I was taken by
the thought they would rival any of the old
traditional masters. They fully knew their
craft, before deconstructing it.
