Goya-until death- and Ligging at the wedding exhib
Hello peeps. Long time I know........
Went to the Courtauld yesterday to see the Goya etchings.
Always love going to art exhibs with my great artist friend Amanda Ward.......She has me in fits of giggles and always teaches me loads about the art.
I hadn't even realised that Goya DID etchings...doh!
It was his 'Old Women' series.
Quite appropriate for us as we are gaining momentum in the tonnage dept.
Here's a Goya drawing/etching.....(I have trouble differentiating between the two)
It's called The sleep of reason produces monsters....
And this one is called Until Death
It's about a withered old woman looking in a mirror kidding herself that she still looks good.
(no comment, lol)
After the Exhib we walked past a wedding exhibition in another part of Somerset House.
Through the door we could see beautiful arrangements of flowers, which Amanda was keen to photograph, but we couldn't go in as we didn't have invites.
So we went to another door, by Tom's Kitchen, and managed to bunk in......heehee
We do like to live a little dangerously. Gets the old adrenaline going.
We were pissing ourselves laughing because we were trying to avoid the main door where they might have thrown us out. My girlfriend, by her own admission, said she looked like my gardener...(I think she had come straight from her allotment...:) ....But she said I looked the part of a Californian buyer of expensive wedding accoutrements.
So if anybody asked......that was the story.
I would also have availed them that Amanda is a descendant of Richard 3rd.
Direct descendant of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence, 1st Earl of Salisbury, 1st Earl of Warwick, KG (21 October 1449 – 18 February 1478)
(In fact an old press friend had phoned her recently asking if she would be attending the re-burial of his turdness.......after exhuming him from a car-park. Richard 3rd and his other bro had him executed.......it's all terribly complicated, you'll have to read up on it, as my head hurts trying to understand the Wikipedia blurb of those flipping complicated murderous royals. Suffice to say her direct ancestor was, according to myth handed down to Amanda, asked how he would like to be executed and he said his preference was to be drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine.
Meanwhile we had the most delish canapes......
OMG......it was wonderful.........
Apparently there are several thousand orchids in this display..........Was it 3 thou or 40 thou? Unfortunately I can't remember.......I was so busy trying to look invisible, in case we got 'removed' that I didn't take proper notes.
The exhibition is open to Jo Public today, so you can go along and check for yourselves......and you don't have to guiltily bunk in, like what we did.
Amanda says it's good that I feel/felt guilty as it shows I'm not a psychopath........LOL
Here's a link to Amanda Wards art at the Saatchi.......Do go along and click 'like'.......She feels a little bereft of clicks.......

Venice - City of Love
Yes!
It was.
We Loved it
Making the movie "Deaf in Venice'.......GP is doing the music and if I get to sing in it you'd want to be...deaf in Venice. lol
This is remarkable. A young fellow playing a home-made steel drum with hands, no sticks.
Plse click here : Steel drum played with hands only
And then there were the crazies.......on the beach where the film Death in Venice was made we were affronted by this what seemed like a lunatic on a suicide mission.
