Thanks, Ludwig, great talent!

Thanks folks for your comments.

There is pretty universal approval of Beever’s works.

Julian Beever’s references to Picasso and Rembrandt:

Picasso? No thanks. I do not have any admiration for his works at all:

Rembrandt, three centuries earlier than Picasso – absolutely brilliant!

lefties always find a way to excuse the inexcusable. Not surprising.

I excuse you, runner.

Poirot,

'I excuse you, runner.'
Thanks Poirot but unfortunately you are not qualified to do so. Only Christ is.
