LEGO Minifigures 75: Still life (Mug with Flowers)

Don't read too much into the symbolism.

Dave and Matilda have gone to the concert together.

LEGO Minifigures 74: Librarian

Meet Matilda.

She likes books. She's not at all sure about Hippie Dave and his clashing colours, but she does quite like the flowers... It is quite sweet of him to give them to her. Perhaps she will go to the concert with him...

The Librarian is the first bespectacled female Minifigure I've come across (not counting sunglasses, of course). As I wear glasses (and I like books), I thought she was worth acquiring.

LEGO Minifigures 73: Hippie

Isn't it, like, really colourful, man. Psychadelic. Mmm, I just love the smell of these flowers. I wonder if Matilda would like them? It would be, like, really cosmic if she liked my flowers...

Publicity! Not the Royal Academy!

Here's the official publicity flyer thingummy from the Llewellyn Alexander.

At the Gallery

Detail of Avebury Sheep

I confess, I'm a bit scared of commercial art galleries. I feel out of place; I don't have the money to buy anything (and it's not as though I have empty walls), I didn't go to art school and I don't really understand the art world. It doesn't help when the stereotypical literature associated with these places is pretentious rubbish that uses very big words to tell you virtually nothing. Or so it seems.

Not The Royal Academy

Avebury Sheep has been for a little wander around London.

Gaily Mill in the Snow

I'm actually quite surprised that this is the first subject I've painted (apart from still lives) that is actually in the village I live in. Well, it's sort of right on the edge of the village, but it's a building, so it "belongs" in the village, while largely unbuilt-upon hills do not.
