Fiddle player under the bridge at Borough market
Borough market from this past Saturday: a pair of street musicians took over a busy corner under the bridge. It was too busy there to stand and admire them from up close; this image reflects a bit the constant stream of people you had to battle to be able to listen up. Folk music, fiddle and accordion, definitely spread it’s charms on me.
Today I learned the origins of word vernissage – it’s means varnishing! I got an invite from the Royal Academy to come for the Summer Exhibit Varnishing day and got kind of puzzled since my painting in the show did not really need any touching up; all those stories about Turner putting up last strokes of paint while already hanging at the salon… When I got there though it turned out to be a private preview day, complete with champagne and canapes! My Aunt Blaire’s dining room is in great company.
