At First Thursday this evening I popped in to Chandler House to see the wonderful paintings of my old friend Ian.

Framed

I got my two pictures back from the framer this morning. They will sit on this shelf with my brother's pot until I get them hung on the wall.

Little Etchings

I'm taking these in for framing tomorrow. Only been meaning to do so since I purchased them in, um, 1998 (!!!)

Romanesque

I think my favourite church in Florence is San Miniato on the Mount. Was well worth the climb up the hill to see it today.

San

For March's "Museum a Month" excursion we caught the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit at the SA Museum and also whizzed through this exhibition of old paintings of local rock art. I'd love this collection on my walls.

Moments of Clarity

So exciting... today I got my two new paintings! (Artist: Rae Hearn). Now I need to make a plan to hang them up.

I went to visit Ian at his exhibition again this morning, and this time I had a good look around the Irma Stern museum itself. Very interesting.

I spent the day helping out at the exhibition. Wonderful art. It is on til the 24th September at the Irma Stern Gallery. Go see it. Tell your friends.

Too busy to take any photos today! Family in town for my brother's ceramic exhibition, which opens tomorrow.

Missed Connections

I love the internet! Artist Sophie Blackall's Missed Connections site is one of it's delights.
