Some of the pictures were out of the car window as my wife was driving, some were interesting, most I have deleted, see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop1111/id3.htm
And
Saturday I had to take my children to an event and on the way back I passed the Monkey House Art Gallery, I didn’t expect this to be open or anything on there but it was so I stopped and took some pictures, see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop1111/id5.htm
An interesting exhibition I thought, I often find when I have visited an art exhibition I feel the urge to paint something myself, so I did a quick sketch based loosely on the people running the gallery and the strange business of selling something aesthetic.
Some of the exhibits included retro items, which contrasted strangely with the easel the inevitable laptop and the gallery being in such a strange place.
I should point out that I was very nearly expelled from school for sketching, and usually use considerable restraint, as on the whole people don’t feel comfortable being subjects, or perhaps victim is a better word.
Gallery owners and other artists though I consider to be fair game, so here is the sketch.
On to today, lunch at The Minnis, this is one of my favourite Thanet Restaurants http://www.theminnis.co.uk followed by a walk along the sea defence causeway in the direction of Reculver. This is the sea defence that failed in the 1953 storm.
Far too many pictures I know, this is the last page http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop1111/id8.htm and I can say in my defence that i did delete about half of them.
Back to the picture of the face, faces, I particularly like this face illusion video.

I may ramble on some more.

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.
