In the art world, there are no ironclad rules. Is the untrained woodsman etching in the forest any less an artist than the student in the workshop? Perhaps, but opinions differ wildly - especially with the more modern styles. Comments like "that painting could sure use a scrub" ensue as often as not. Criticism, ironically, pushes the artist to strive harder. Who, after all, scores a home run every time at bat? Fortunately, most any size or format is seen as a means toward a literate piece of work. Leeway is given, then, to the new, yet historically sound approach. A gallery may have some paintings no wider than a few dozen picas; some may go yards at a stretch. In the end, a vincible artist may leave behind an invincible body of work, proving that only the cosmos establishes who the true artists are.

The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Actually Lear was suggested by Mrs Lex who is slightly less of a phillistine!  And just to finish off Robert has to be in WOODsman (with a little help from google...) An interesting little puzzle perhaps helping feed Sherlock's hidden word clue repertoire

Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
