Treasures

Posted by cmgaylard on January 14, 2020 at 1:40 PM

I've never been to Mexico, or in fact the Americas - it's all been in the other direction from the UK with New Zealand being the back stop. So the Mexican Gallery at the British Museum delivers something rema...

Blackthorne Blossom and Blue Sky

Posted by cmgaylard on March 21, 2018 at 12:25 PM

At Snape Maltings today for a meeting and so was the spring.


Ambulant works of art...

Posted by cmgaylard on March 16, 2018 at 2:05 PM

I liked the grey one best.

Beast from the East

Posted by cmgaylard on March 6, 2018 at 8:30 AM

The start of the snow last week, looking out of the window of a cafe just up the road at St Michael's - we haven't the kind of had snow that transforms the landsape since 2010, so it's beautiful but problematic.

Russia Season Norwich

We went to see The Russia Season in Norwich on its last day -

Seasonal Shift

Posted by cmgaylard on January 4, 2018 at 9:20 AM

Most of my recent work has been eaten. My significant moment was getting a complete cake out of a new tin - after only managing (highly-edible) rubble. This weekend is about a household return to school, universities and work. Me to my torch.

Seasonal Ornament

Posted by cmgaylard on December 17, 2017 at 5:25 AM

My 'Urban Fairy Ring' is looking seasonal.


Suffolk Day Out

Posted by cmgaylard on December 11, 2017 at 6:45 PM

I enjoyed meeting the folks that braved the weather to get to my studio - it WAS good to be at the torch and next to a kiln. Then of course there was this from my window, a ten minute convoy of tractors driven by Santas...

East Anglian Gothic

No editing or filters.

Suffolk

The windmill round the corner from my studio on a clear spring evening.

Special things we brought home from Asia..

Posted by cmgaylard on April 21, 2017 at 7:35 AM


A recipe for Singapore spice mix that looks as good as it tastes and a proper workhorse of a pestle and mortar from Thailand.

Shorelines

Posted by cmgaylard on April 16, 2017 at 2:15 PM

Just back from Yorkshire - our very happy compromise for not driving all the way to the Scotland I grew up in. Later this year for that!

Happy New Year

Posted by cmgaylard on January 2, 2017 at 11:00 AM

It's bleak in Suffolk so I'm looking at the beautiful Spirit House from the British Embassy in Thailand and remembering warmth, abundance and light instead.

Stepping in the Same River Twice...

Posted by cmgaylard on December 2, 2016 at 9:45 AM

I was able to revisit Thailand for the latter part of November to stay with a friend I spent five years at Art College with - a street away from where we used to live. We lived in Bangkok for seven years from 1999 and its fair to say you leave a piece of yourself behind. An amazing way to find it.

Splendid Detail.

Posted by cmgaylard on August 31, 2016 at 1:45 PM

My parents had enough children to mean that I was once told that I was getting a sibling instead of a bike, but also a full shelf of 'Old Masters' art books. Carlo Crivelli was one of my favourites. These were the 'Disney Princesses' I grew up with. I was pleased to find a room of ...

Madness and Despair

Posted by cmgaylard on August 25, 2016 at 6:45 PM

Just saw Anthony Sher as an amazing Lear -  some lovely RSC costumes for light relief.

Getting back in the Studio

Posted by cmgaylard on August 25, 2016 at 6:20 PM

Four days on a barge and it took at least four to lose the sensation of being afloat. 

 

Dutch Flowers at the National.

Posted by cmgaylard on August 13, 2016 at 1:45 PM

We took in the BP at the National Portrait - which was inspiring but small, then wondered into the National. A staff member was singing out 'Last day!' so we went into what initially looked like an over-exuberant collection of chocolate box covers. On looking closer there were fascinating conventions, subtle skills, quirks, miniaturism and a s...

O'Keefe at the Tate

Posted by cmgaylard on August 3, 2016 at 8:55 AM

Complex and powerful, and in her own words: 'When people read erotic symbols into my paintings they are really talking about their own affairs.'

Kew!

Posted by cmgaylard on August 3, 2016 at 8:40 AM

 First visit to Kew Gardens, a bit of a grey day but the Tropical Greenhouse and The Hive were looking good.
