Patrick Hughes Prays for Rain

  1. I don't know who Patrick Hughes is, but I'm fascinated by the notion that the rain cloud he's praying for may wash away his own colorful speech. Is it, Ron, about a desire to be silenced?

  2. Great! I remember seeing a terrific exhibition of rainbows and other clever stuff by Patrick Hughes back in the 60's.

  3. Interesting! Like Fi, I'd never heard of Patrick Hughes, but have now seen some of his reverse perspective paintings (or whatever the right term is), including one with a rainbow leaning against the wall...(I get it, she says!). Great work, Mono.

  4. Thanks everyone for your comments.
    I think Patrick's praying for inspiration Fi. I first saw his work on a BBC documentary when he focused on the Rainbow motif. More recently he has created quite stunning perspective pictures. There's one in our local Gallery of Modern Art and it's amazing to see up close.
