FRAMED

In the words of Mark Twain*, 'I don't know much about art, but I know what I hate!', and I really don't hate Nerp's painting of Wilson in the garden!

I think it's much better than anything painting robot Ai-Da has done, and I'm going to frame it and hang it in the living room.


Wilson's interest was piqued when he learned that one of Ai-Da's paintings has sold for £1Millionexactly the sum needed by W to keep the promise he made to his Mum, Mrs V – although Nërp says that if he sells his painting, the proceeds will go to the Home For Retired Robots.


It still looks to me as though Wilson is asleep rather than thinking, although I will concede that his eyes are open.


Of course, that could just be Nërp using some 'artistic licence' in his interpretation…
