If I had a book out I'd plug it here. But I don't. So I won't. (but I would if I did)

47. This guy's pretty familiar and certainly what most people think of alongside the Accademia Gallery in Florence, it's worth the queues to see David, but there's more to the gallery than just the big guy. I particularly enjoyed a bit of saint spotting in this one. And the aircon. #52ArtBooks25

We've started having our last staff meeting of the half term as a wellbeing one. Sometimes just cancelled, but we've had a pub quiz (with pop, snacks and beer mats), bingo, glass craft (external person) and just did choice of boxing or crafting a few weeks ago.

46. A local chap by the name of Joseph Wright of Derby. Usually several of his greatest hits are lining the walls of Derby Museum and Art Gallery but they've trotted off to that there London for a bit... #52ArtBooks25

This is amazing. A dog dressed as a unicorn, with the knitter crying with joy when it came out (was it ever in?) and another dog dressed as a Chelsea Pensioner 🤩 #KnittingBakeOff

This throws up some really interesting questions.
One of those ones where I've got so many connecting thoughts that it's pub-chat stuff.

45. This week it's Anthony Gormley at the RA, 2019. There was a lot to love in this exhibition. I loved the bodies, I loved the concrete, I loved the massive angular dark tunnel thing, but my favourites were the cases and cases full of Gormley's workbooks. #52ArtBooks25

This week I've used this poem with my Yr10s (most of which haven't done poetry analysis for a year +) as inspiration for their art project on 'Nature'. It's amazing how quickly they slip back into it and much more familiar place to see themes used to represent other meanings 😍 poets.org/poem/magalu

Ladies' loo at work has a new air freshener. It's like it's won an award. Or an under-7s 5-a-side tournament 🤣

@rlrossi64.bsky.social New bins are being delivered. They're for glass and the collection times are like calculating the date of Easter. You'd love it.

44. The British Museum has a series of these small 'Object in Focus' books and this one is all about Hokusai's Great Wave. This colour woodblock print is one of the series 'Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji' and the book looks at its history and place in modern culture. #52ArtBooks25

Well... from a general love of/ knowledge base of art and getting Bendor's book last Christmas, I've had a year devouring art history books and free courses, and I'm now spending half term researching for my first MA assignment. It's been an amazing surprise; who knows what the Tudors would do?! 😁

Ah, today's the day Google photos gives me an 'On this day' collage where I now get to look and say half of it's not there anymore.

43. We're on holiday in North Yorkshire at the moment and had a lovely trip to the Scarborough Art Gallery, including this exhibition of a reimagining of the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm by Christopher P Wood. Lots of print, paint and collage. #52ArtBooks25

42. Fruit of Friendship is a reference to 'Discourse on Friendship' written by Mary Beale (probably Britain's first professional female artist) in 1666. She seems like my kinda girl. This is a nice little book from Philip Mould & Co. with biography,essays and catalogue. #52ArtBooks25
