Apologies for the lack of good quality photograph here, I’ve
recently fallen out of the habit of taking my camera around with me everywhere
and now that I’m tucked up in bed with ½ kg of Galaxy chocolate the last thing
I can be bothered to do is root around for my exhibition ticket to take a photo
of. This will have to do!
So basically, I saw the RA’s David Hockney exhibition back during the beginning
of February when the show had first opened. I still have no idea how to go
about writing something about the exhibition, but I recommend you see it
nonetheless. I quite liked some of the works he created specifically for the
exhibition, but due to knowing virtually zilch about Hockney prior to seeing
the show, I’m currently reading up a thing or two about him…

Pour le première fois. .(scribbled at 07:30 )
I will keep to a blog.
At least, that’s one of my resolutions anyway. As well as numerous other
ideas which will no doubt have disappeared come February. These include:
Shifting a pound or 4 off my 11 stone figure, increasing general productivity
at work, pushing my career goals and maintaining some order and organisation in
my enormous Moleskine diary. Oh, and cycling to work instead of jumping on the
bus. But the latter will most definitely not happen any time soon, not until I
stop hearing stories of cyclists’ deaths on Bow flyover.
Well, okay. I never intended to
blog this year. It wasn’t until I was at the Leonardo, Painter at the Court of
Milan exhibition and I was actually moved
by a selection of the drawings and paintings by that I considered how
useful it could be to record as much of my art-related activities as possible.
It wasn’t exactly an epiphany as such (!), but they were absolutely exquisite
and so incredible. You could almost feel the care and devotion that Leonardo
had put into each cartoon. So yes, I’m bashing out this out onto my laptop on a
Sunday night, sincerely hoping it makes a little bit of sense. The whole idea
being that I will write about exhibitions I’ve visited, with perhaps allowing
for a little scope on other things I have an interest in. Which doesn’t really
exceed beyond baking and furniture design really. Yay!
