The painting is actually more beautiful if you’re lucky enough to see it in real life as I’ve done, twice. The print is great and a good reproduction but it really doesn’t do the painting justice. The colours are stunning. Photo my own.

Catherine/Kate, Princess of Wales, looks stunning in a green velvet evening gown by a German fashion label Talbot Runhof based in Munich. The jewellery is fab too. She is attending the Royal Variety Show in London this evening.

I do love my newly framed print of Claude Monet’s “Meules/Grainstacks” (1891) bought at Museum Barberini in Potsdam in July. It’s my favourite painting in the permanent collection. It sold for $110.7 million at Sotheby’s New York back in 2019 making it the most expensive Monet work ever sold.

A wine tip for white wine lovers.
This Baron Amarillo Albariño from Aldi Ireland is fab and costs only €10.99. It comes in a distinctive blue bottle.

Catherine/Kate, Princess of Wales looking really well in a black coat dress by Catherine Walker (a favourite designer of Princess Diana’s) at the Royal British Legion Service of Remembrance yesterday. The hat by Jane Taylor is lovely. Her diamond and ruby earrings are striking.

Day 2068 #ArtKicksCovid19 “The Eternal Idol” (1893) Auguste Rodin. Leopold Museum. Rodin was born on this day in 1840. At first glance, this sculpture shows a couple in a tight embrace. But rather than depicting a loving caress, the artist filled the relationship between man and woman with tension.
