Good morning Tom. I particularly liked how the author of the article pointed put that follies, like paintings, raise the spirits and make life more interesting. I wholeheartedly agree.

YOUR OFFERING HAS A TWO FOLD NATURE; RESULTING IN AN ALMOST PERFECT COMBINATION OF – TWO ART FORMS.

1. ON THE ONE SIDE IS – THE ‘ARTIST’S’ RENDERING OF THE ‘FOLLY’ ON CANVAS.
2. THE OTHER: THE BRICK AND TIMBER OF THE REALITY (OR – WHAT’S LEFT).

IN EITHER CASE, THERE IS A THIRD FACET; UNIQUE TO EACH VIEWER.
THE ROMANCE THAT ONE CAN ‘IMAGINE’ – VIA THESE ‘REMAINS’ –
IN THE ART FORM OF – ‘THE MIND’.

GIVES NEW MEANING TO … DREAM ON!

CHEERS
TOM

Hello Moira. I’m always excited to find new descriptions and definitions of folly, and I really admired Fenwick’s summary.
