Very much worth seeing - True to Life: British Realist Painting in the 1920s & 1930s, on at The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art until 29th. October. Follow the link and scroll down for some of the highlights including James Walker Tucker's Hiking, c.1936 (see postcard above), and James McIntosh Patrick's A City Garden 1940.
On a side note, if you should visit the exhibition and go to the gallery café for refreshments, try the unlikely-sounding but quite delicious spinach and hazelnut cake - this one looks similar.
Ah, we had coffee and croissant on Sunday morning before visiting the exhibition. Will try the cake the next time, lovely exhibition.

We may have overlapped, Claire! We had our coffee after seeing the exhibit at 10.

My mother very much recommends the "Beyond Caravaggio" at the SNG. I saw many of his works, by chance, at The Hermitage a few years ago.

So looking forward to seeing this! I'll look out for the cake - but it will have to be very good to tempt me away from those Scottish tablet shortbreads they make - they're always a highlight of my trips to Edinburgh! None of our London galleries do fabulous cake; they're all chain caterers and rather boring.

I know I would love this - but the chances of seeing it are slim indeed!
Perhaps there will be a catalogue of the exhibition I can get hold of, never quite the same, of course, but a small consolation when a theme/topic interests me.
