Diana's Weekly Blog

I have been inspired by a visit to Chichester Cathedral, no, not the road to Damascus, but seeing the John Piper tapestry behind the high alter, very bright colours, including red.  It is helping me with my members' entry. There was also a lot of red in the Chagall window although I was a bit disappointed with the size of it. If you haven't been to Chichester there is a gallery well worth a diversion if you are in the area.  The Pallant House Gallery boasts "one of the most significant collections of Modern British Art in the country."

Next Monday (18th) Ella is the model for our extra session of life drawing - 10a.m. - 12.30p.m.  Could Ella be your inspiration for the members exhibition?  (hand in 2nd February)  Have you all rushed out to buy blue paper?  Having just caught the end of the Titian to Canaletto at the Ashmolean, I have decided to try drawing in chalk (conte) but I don't suppose it will improve my attempts.  I might get as far as the blue paper.

Still haven't got round to sorting out my pieces for the sale.  It will take me a long time to go through my unsold pictures and umpteen entry forms!

Look forward to seeing you all soon.
