But is it art? Painting the Word

Well the poetry evening was much more interesting than I expected.

Now for an evening about religious paintings (mainly the classical Christmas ones) which we all probably remember seeing somewhere (on a chocolate box or in a magazine) but did we really look at them. These pictures were often painted to sit behind an altar instead of stained glass. What do they SAY to us. Is there a danger of differing interpretations?

Come and have your say. Be prepared for surprises!
