Here is the watercolour painting from Turner Contemporary
Margate, the drawing is ink, size S Pitt Pen, love it or hate it the gallery is
iconic, which is very handy from the artist’s point of view inasmuch as no
matter how badly you paint it people are going to recognise it.
About half way through the painting, which took about an
hour someone took the umbrella on the right of the painting and put it up in my
way, I bet Renoir never had this sort of trouble with the parapluies, I mean
what do you do about this sort of thing?
I did the art gallery backwards this time, instead of
looking at exhibitions, gaining the inspiration and painting the picture. When
I turned up at the gallery and saw the vacant table with the view, I secured it
with an Americano; reservé a la caffé painted the picture, looked at the
Mondrians, decided that Mondrian was a bit lazy.
The new exhibition there is almost a maze in mdf, sorry,
Krijn de Koning “Dwelling”
I managed to pick up James Patterson’s Roses are Red
which is the next book in the Alex Cross series I am reading and my own
bookshop let me down by not having this title in stock.
Turner Contemporary have one of the most remarkable garden
hose taps I have ever seen, it even drips out of the keyhole, which is Alice in
Wonderland, Alice’s tears flooding the room, for me at least.

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.
