Whilst crossing Eel Pie Island by hot air balloon for his honeymoon, one of our art advisors Felix Chowder discovered an enclave of fine artists working in a style that could only be described as Pre-Pre-Raphaelites.
“I immediately descended to a level beneath the clouds where I could, with my FarSight 5000 telescope, make out the canvases that these artists were painting. It was as if the art of the last hundred and more years was wiped away as I spotted masterpiece after masterpiece.
“I landed my balloon intending to purchase these marvels to sell at Pimlico Wilde. However the artists misread my intentions and, from the moment I touched terra firma did nothing save attempt to kill me. I escaped only through the quick thinking of my wife, who reignited the hot air balloon and flew away, with me dangling from a rope, attempting to avoid the sharpened paintbrushes being thrown at me.
“We are currently recuperating in Paris, but intend to return with a translator and purchase some of these pre-pre-Raphaelite paintings for the world to enjoy.”
