I blame OCA …
Time was, you could take a radiator off a wall and someone would come to fill the holes then slap an approximate match of the 30 year old paint onto the gap. But when you’ve spent the best part of … Continue reading I blame OCA …

Artivive in the wild!

I used it for my contribution to our lane’s Advent Window fundraiser (for the local school) whereby one window a night is ‘unveiled’ and then stays lit for the rest of Christmas, which meant viewing in the dark from the garden in a village where mobile signals aren’t always great.

‘Art is Everywhere’
This has become an annual event with BBC 6 Music and in particular Maryanne Hobbs who has a knack of de-pomposifying [but never trivialising] the arts and artists. Let’s face it, much like literature, art can seem to get in its own way if the life is squeezed out of it by over-analytical thinking, by people making assumptions about what an artist’s motivations were within a given painting, or placing a construction on a piece of work that the artist can’t refute by virtue of being dead.
