Sanctuary

We had hoped to have a day or two in London soon, and the Garden Museum's exhibition Sanctuary: Artist-Gardeners 1919-1939 was on my list to visit.

The accompanying talk by Paul Liss has been postponed, so maybe that's a possibility for the future, though a look back at that 'golden age' would be very welcome now.

Shown here, The Garden, Charles Mahoney.

Also Andy Warhol and Dóra Maurer at Tate Modern :-(

Think how we'll enjoy such things when this is all over.

They were open all last week, Karen - but closed for the weekend. There's hardly ever a soul there so you could easily socially distance during a visit, but for the transport getting there. Not that I'd want to set out from Edinburgh at the moment.
I've seen Warhol and Dora Maar, Dark Puss - but am grieving over the food history exhibition at Cambridge -if only I'd gone earlier and not waited for a day when it wasn't raining! Forlornly hoping they might extend it. Actually, I enjoyed Picasso at the RA far more than Warhol.

Food history sounds very interesting!
I managed to see the Leonardo drawings at The Queen's Gallery at Holyrood House the other day, and I've noticed lots of art popping up on social media, posted by curators.

Hear, hear, Paulette, and thank you for your kind words.
