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

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.

Hills

I know we have the sea and shouldn't be greedy - but I miss this sort of thing. A couple of inspiring days in The Cotswolds.

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

Suffolk

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

Special things we brought home from Asia..

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!

Suburban Fairy Ring

Posted by cmgaylard on January 30, 2017 at 11:30 AM

My youngest has been 'doing' Andy Goldsworthy in art at school so we enjoyed finding this in a car park.

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.

Definately Autumn

Posted by cmgaylard on October 12, 2016 at 9:55 AM

I haven't been able to upload to my blog over the past couple of weeks but I have been recording a very lovely autumn.

 

Splendid Detail.

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

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

Suffolk Artisan Treasures

Posted by cmgaylard on August 25, 2016 at 6:30 PM

My youngest sister just got engaged and in the absence of parents we siblings wanted to mark the occasion. The proposal took place at a significant waterfall so we chose this fabulous chalice by Suffolk potter Christopher Soule, and asked local artist
