Paintings of the Turner Contemporary Art Gallery in Margate

 As we have a major new art gallery designed by an internationally renowned architect, I wondered what artists had made of this civic ornament adorning Margate seafront.

I have to say that I have Googled in vain, trying to find paintings of this architectural gem.

Like Turner I keep a sketch book, there the resemblance ends unfortunately, however ts amuses my children, so here are possibly the first two paintings of the gallery.

One of the gallery, and one a notion of how it may have arrived.
The pictures should enlarge if you click on them.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
