    Joseph, you are a naughty boy.

          The things some people will do to avoid having to use rude words - show a picture instead!

            I'm not 100% sure, but I think it could be 'Merry Spring Lambs Gambollng' a middle-period piece which he knocked out while holed up in the Rat and Cockroaches in Bourton-on-the-Water. A fine example of his 'Cotswolds' period - thank you for sharing it with us.

                Ironically, that’s pretty much the title of the painting.
                "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

                      Tineye is your friend! https://tineye.com/

                      Take a screen shot, then crop the relevant part, shrink and/or convert to jpg, then submit to the above site.

                      For the particular image there'll be a lot of results, some with English titles, some with Spanish ones, and some just computer file names. Scan down and you should get the jist - which is as described in msg 2.

                        The reason I started this thread, in case this was not already apparent, was to hopefully draw attention to the ridiculousness, as I see it, of taking offence at some lyrics Jayne Lee Wilson posted on the now-deleted lyrics thread. This is not a criticism of the admin or moderators or hosts here.

                          ....well as of.....Now....we debate the veracity (I say veracity, because 'appropriateness' is a clumsy word) of JKs motivation blaa blaa etc....or accept his wit, insight blaa blaa etc....and just let it go, move on....because JK has always shown himself to be a good egg ( in old fashioned speak)....or because we don't want to tear ff away from her....????....personally I've always liked cheeky, slightly naughty....
