Blue room

May Morris in the Tapestry Room at Kelmscott Manor (1912), Mary Annie Sloane.

Books, needlework, flowers, a spinning wheel, and the window open to a blue-and-white day beyond.

This watercolour features in a forthcoming exhibition about May Morris, and there is an accompanying book.

Thank you for the information. I will be in London in January and have added this exhibition to my list of things to see.

I hope you'll enjoy it very much, Mary.

What a lovely picture to start the day and most enjoyable links. Even though the exhibition is out of reach, reading about it will be most enjoyable. Thank you! and can I confess that in-spite of reading about William Morris and enjoying his work I was quite oblivious to May ...so thank you for the introduction.

You're welcome, Val.

This could be the perfect exhibition for me and my sisters who are meeting in London for a few days next month. Thanks for links.
