I now have 16 bags ready for the Lewes Exhibition. Yesterday (because it rained all day) I spent time labelling everything....in fact I have never been so organised. I even have baskets packed up ready and the Exhibition is 10 days away!! It's a good feeling though and hopefully there won't be any last minute panic. I am now about to go off for a swim. I'm sure it did amazing things for my injured foot when I went last week, so who know what today's result will be?? (at least it's stopped raining.....)
You can also see the beginnings of ou new patio garden!
I spent time wandering the through the Bishop's Palace Gardens in Chichester yesterday...it really is a lovely place, like an oasis in the city....the atmosphere was so calm and quiet and it felt quintessentially English!! Thought these particular images could be more inspirations for my 'Blue' art class! At this time of year I feel the need to grab colour and sunshine before it disappears. This morning I'm off to make more gold stars.......happy days!
More colourful images of France....I realise that I have (over the years....) now learned to look differently. On my last trip to the Riviera, which was two years ago, my photos, on the whole, were much more pedestrian. Lots of views etc. I now seem to notice more details of juxtaposition of colour etc. Anyway - it keeps me happy.......I potter off with my I-phone in my pocket so I'm always at the ready to snap! Today may be the last of the warm weather. I shall make the most of my new found freedom (!) and take a bike ride along the sea front. Have a good day xx
I went to the Matisse Exhibition in Nice last week. I normally think of Matisse's collages but in this Exhibition there was a lot of other stuff too. I particularly liked these two, and I thought the top picture could inspire me for my art group where the subject is "Blue". The bottom picture screams a tapestry weave....we shall see!! Meanwhile I have been cutting out loads and loads of gold stars for a local Christmas event.......well prepared!!
