Mart	I think Vettriano creates such a theme in his paintings that it becomes a focal point of the dwelling and if that is not the theme that is required for a lifestyle, it has narrowed his appeal. All his works are of course brilliantly painted, but I can`t think of a house I have ever lived in where I would have liked one. His art cannot be disputed, but it is of course a question of taste, I would be intrigued to know other fans. Had I ever been fortunate enough to own a Hockney, the work would have been everywhere, confidently sat with me. Vettriano makes me feel slightly uncomfortable, the visions show a tremendous passion, but also a starchiness exposed in a slight chaos. Stunning accuracy, but that`s not, what I for one don`t really like about him. Great human forms though and if I had to pick one it would be his "Bluebird" image.

I think the idea that nobody else seems to rate him is very wide of the mark - reproductions of his work sell very well indeed and he is one of the artists the general public can actually identify and name.
