Last night Alan and I were sitting on the sofa discussing something….that somehow reminded me of a painting I had learned about in Art History.  I tried excitedly to tell Alan all about it, but my memory failed me….The image was clear in mind and I tried to describe the painting, but failed miserably, as the painting was abstract, nor could I remember the name of the painting or the name of the painter.
