The art gallery in London once had an excellent art shop run by a group of volunteers. The women in the group, it seemed to be composed of mostly women, were smart both at finding art for their shop and at running a successful and very profitable business. But the ladies and the gallery had a falling out and the in art shop in now only memory.
Our home, like many in London, has a lot of art purchased from those ladies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that art has brought a lot of folk a lot of happiness. With lock-downs and lock-ins, with closed schools and off-limit restaurants, life can seem a wee bit on the bleak side. Art seems to lighten the atmosphere in the home and that lightening has never been more important than now. Today one spends an inordinate amount of time within those walls.
This closely cropped image of a glass on glass plate creation is a favourite of our granddaughters and my wife and me. It brings a little, much needed, whimsy into our home.
