Will be happy to come back here and restock on those next week. My grandma used to make amazing jam with those, she had a quince tree producing smallish covered with fuzz quince fruit, but the jam from it turned out royally good.

Was very pleased to see that the large painting I’ve been working all last month has been stretched and hung in its new home in the States.  Now figuring out what smaller paintings would accompany it better.

Saw a great deal of Sargent in DC  – two of his life sized portraits and two or three beautiful smaller paintings of his are on display at the National Gallery of Art.

Been to the BP Portrait Award show at the National Portrait Gallery today. The quality of work on show is sticking. Making a Mark particularly well described my favoarite item in the show – Gareth Reid’s illustarted trip to small Finnish willage. Also explored today Somerset House courtyard turned into a the largest living room for the weekend as part of London architecture festival.

Lot’s of fun and great art to see, as usual.  It seems that as much as the Ukrainians try their hand in conceptual and abstract art, our lot prefers the classical stuff:
