The Castle 'Fine Art' Galleries, appearing everywhere, & similar, with 'hand embellished painting' + celebrity names from other fields, are so shite, so philistine &hard to believe www.castlefineart.com. I had to escort a friend out of one place because he felt he was being "bludgeoned by bad art".
