Meeting up with Art in the Park (Islington Art Society) to do some drawing ... but first I had to have a big cup of coffee ... and a long sit&think ...
... time for noticing things, like the colour schemes within the building, reflections, the patterns made by shapes and by the movements of people ...
and for a look around the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize exhibition (till 9 October). All works are online here. The first picture I saw used textile, which was surprising and passed my "why textile" text -

My subject: some of the narrowboats. Medium: water-soluble neopastel -
Plenty of materials were in use. Most people seem to be painters, doing preparatory work for a "proper" painting -
On the way home, a quick look at "Sculptor's Drawings" at Pangolin Gallery (till 15 August; all works are online here) -
And the discovery of a farmer's market at King's Cross station forecourt. Brilliant.
The big cheese! |
Wonderful breads ... and more |
