It’s A Date!

At least, it was…
Thought I’d take advantage of the break in general raininess to go on an Artist Date.
It’s something I’ve not been too consistent with, but today, everything came together.
I started off at the library, finishing off a book I’d been reading, and looking through a magazine. I enjoyed taking my time, and felt rested.
It seemed like a good time to check out the gallery, which is showing an exhibition of abstract art at the moment. It’s called “Arriving Slowly“, which seemed appropriate for my day.

It looks better in person…still time to check it out!

There was a little side room, which contained some paintings – one of which was a Rothko.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in real life before.
For some reason, I didn’t expect it to be so big.

I had a look at the rest of the gallery, and came across a lovely Margaret Preston.

I believe I have seen her work before, but it was nice to come upon this unexpectedly.
This one is called “Wild Apple”.

Next, I went down to the Community Gallery, where they were showing an exhibition called “Terrain“, an exploration of landscapes through ceramics.

I believe these are all pieces by Rachel North, although I wasn’t sure I was reading the labelling correctly.
Go and have a look, and tell me if I got it right! 🙂

There were a variety of pieces, which didn’t really photograph well for me…
probably best to go and see for yourself.
I’ll end with this one, which I believe was made by Kirsti Falconer.
