im going to go upstairs and scratch my head.

:headscratch:

[JackieClaire]

I'm all tidied and hooved and polished and so is the downstairs.

[roxane]

I did scratch my head but also moved stuff around in a constructive manner. Doesn't look it but it's getting there.

Local art....... Unless you're in an artists enclave that can be rather a scary experience. Actually, even then.

Sky one is running a series 'portrait artist of the year', fascinating seeing the different styles and their start to finish techniques. One of them this week did look like that too.

[JackieClaire]

Ahh haven't got Sky............what was the name of that prog that was on in the afternoon.................got it Watercolour Challenge.........I used to love that.

[roxane]

I've heard of it but didn't see it. Bbc a few years ago did an art thing but it was confused. Tried to be more commercial than it could be and the host annoyed the hell out of me. They won money if chosen and he asked 'what would you spend the money on?' Like they were going to reply 'Disneyland!' They were after raising their profile for commissions or just general recognition. Prick. The critics could be savage but not gratuitously so, mostly.

ETA give me the Monet!

[JackieClaire]

It was like watching valium...........very soothing.........the weekly prize was something like a box of brushes or a new palette...........think the series winner got a trip to Italy.

[roxane]

Yes, I did see one or two of those! Then they swapped it for the Monet gig.

[JackieClaire]

Bit of a Monet fan, myself.
I must away to the settee...........a nice Law and Order SVU and curry and chips are about to happen.:welldone:

[roxane]

Monet was used as a 'clever' pun. That's as far as his connection went. Some of the art was incredible though.

Curry and chips, you're sooo Northern! Haha, lol and all that.

Morning!

Waiting for the coffee to brew.

Thanks for the Monet, Rox!

Lovely food at the art & wine - stuffed myself on cheese puffs. Art not too bad. Saw a painting in town some time ago, but at a different venue, called Elephant. I really would not have known what it was, otherwise - and the artist did not go for an abstract interpretation.

Still don't get the point of curry and chips, sorry.

Into the garden after my coffee - later!

[Mick]

hi dtd....tis early doors here ,and on the way out.....hows the Cape today?

[DreamThinkDo]

Morning Mick! Off garden gnoming again? Enjoy, whatever you're going to do. Lovely here - cloudy, but no wind, which is a blessing!
