Art, food, sunshine, altogether a good day off today.
This is the sketch from Quex Barn, I didn’t really finish it
as there wasn’t time, but I hope it give a bit of the feel of the place, pot of
tea, apple juice and two steak sarnies about £18 inc a tip.
It should also be noted that they have an excellent farm
shop, as you may be able to see from the pictures.
On to the Turner Contemporary, I particularly enjoyed the
John Downton Awards exhibition of young Kent artists, this picture “Broken
Bowl” by Laura Simmons which I am pretty sure is oil on canvas, was my
favourite. I have always been interested in the area where the eye is deceived,
in this case the shine on the pottery.
I was please to find that nearly all of the exhibits were
working today, including the one with the typewriter.
Here is the link to the first batch of photos from my phone https://plus.google.com/photos/103118335852639233427/albums/5864154208250323601?banner=pwa

I hope you can see them I am still working on this cloud
computing lark.
I don't see this interesting many people but I have added Winsor red to my travel painting box

Got a couple of the blues the wrong way round, but you get the general idea.
The trick here is not so much about being clever at mixing up the right colour as being ble to do it very fast without much water.

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.
