Art Blog with words.

I went to an exhibition, is what that says, and the only sad bit was that I REALLY wanted Emer to see it and she wasn't there. I actually texted Rob to ask if it was possible to get her there, but it wasn't really. She'd have LOVED it, in spite of all the people.

And I saw LOTS of children afterwards; a toddler on purpose (got a KISS!) and various children on public transport. One family had just finished a 12-hour journey and I told them how brilliant they were. Children are very grounding for me.

On the Tube after the exhibition, I got into a carriage occupied solely by persons in black. One woman had a dark purple thing under her black coat, a couple of people had dark blue jeans, and there were two people in dark brown. Everything else was black.

Except for me, in my faded red jeans, stripy cardi, red handbag, etc etc. I was like a metaphor, or the person in the film who dies horribly.

The Exhibition looks interesting and I have decided to go because of your posts. I hope I get there.

I went! It was glorious. There was a grin on my face about from the moment I stepped in. Bright colours! Big canvases!

I wasn't sure whether to comment on your blog or here. Going to Look at Art was not something that my parents ever did, so I remember feeling like an impostor the first few times I did it too. I hope it gets to feel more comfortable for you, because I can hear how important it was.

One of the things that I do on a visit to a show or gallery is to find one piece that grabs my attention and preferably has a bench in front of it. Then I sit and look and not-look and think and not-think for a longish time. Usually it's not something famous.
