Finding inspiration should be on the school curriculum., because when you need some help there is always something out there which will provide the spark. A visit to an exhibition and or a trip to the roof garden is on my list.

Attending degree shows and reviewing school projects is such an inspiration. There is so much talent out there and finding a way to provide a helping hand is definitely a goal. My skill learnt today is another IT challenge. Adobe Acrobat Pro and at last I can provide one attachment with all the papers enclosed. Phew I have written the instructions down. Back to beautiful things.
A few weeks into my blog and finding the right words is my challenge. But my cultural landscape continues to inspire me, even on a rainy day.
Sloane Square a great place to be when you want a pick me up.
AI Weiwei, coloured vases ,XU ZHEN (Madeln Company) + beautiful installation (can’t find my reference).
The Crawford Art Gallery another hidden treasure . ‘Portrait of Lennox Robinson’ by artist Margaret Clarke caught my eye and the label descriptor had ‘reason for choice’ which was really useful and very inclusive.
I have included in my pictures ‘Time Flies’ by Wm Gerrard Barry as this still makes me smile.
‘Motivational deficit’ was the main exhibition on the ground floor and included work by eight contemporary Irish artists. The pervasive nature of the recession and austerity. Definitely different view points and different perspectives at the Crawford Gallery
A stroll through hampstead and I come across a sculpture which takes my breadth away. I stop and stare and I am immediately drawn inside this small gallery to view the works of Philip Jackson. Its times like this that highlight how powerful art is and a must for my cultural landscape and my memory diary.
Objects can have such an impact……

Guildhall art gallery is hidden away in Moorgate but what a wonderful experience. Beauty, Faith, Home, Imagination, Love and Leisure all portrayed. ‘The Garden of Eden’ by G Riviere is definitely my great find.
The creation of my cultural landscape has made me think more about the prompts and how exciting it is finding such hidden treasures.
My powerful painting and a must to see and a revisit. So Thoughtful.
