…discovered in London at the Eames Fine Art Gallery
I’ve discovered an artist from England whose work I really like. For Thursday Trips I’ve chosen some of her portraits to share with you.
Anita is a painter and print maker who has lived most of her life in England. She and her husband, Nigel are also avid cold water swimmers. This is very evident in the following series of Bathers.
If you have any trios to share just copy my link and paste it into your post. Have fun!

On a recent visit to the Victoria Miro Gallery in London we came across these two red works of art.
I can’t believe that I’m so late into this challenge.

Last weekend when we were in Kew Gardens there was a special art installation, honouring the oak tree.
This spring and summer, visitors to Kew Gardens can experience Of the Oak, a one-of-a-kind immersive art installation that celebrates the oak tree as a vital hub of biodiversity. (This is from the website)
…the Queen’s Beasts
At Kew Gardens there are a series of 10 sculptures that were created by James Woodford, OBE, RA in 1958.
According to the Kew Gardens website:
Each of these ten statues represent the heraldic badges of Queen Elizabeth II’s royal ancestors. They are Portland stone replicas of the plaster models that were placed outside the Westminster Abbey annex for the Queen’s coronation in 1953. — Read on www.kew.org/kew-gardens/visit-kew-gardens/trails/art-architecture-trail
…closer to home
We didn’t want to go too far afield today because we had to pick up Sevin from school. After a good hearty breakfast at the flat we headed out to catch the #4 bus to Islington Green.
We stopped in Waterstones bookstore to look around and purchased a couple of paperbacks. After that we were desperate for a coffee and we stopped at the same coffee kiosk that we went to the last time we were here. Once we were satisfactorily caffeinated we continued our journey down Camden Passage.
We stopped in a great cheese store and purchased some yummy cheeses made in Britain. One of the cheeses, the cheddar to be exact came from a dairy in Devon. The cheese monger told us that he had been to that dairy and he claimed that the owner knew her cheese as well as she knew her cows. She has a herd of over 100 cows and she has named each one.
Before heading home to pick up Sevin we stopped at Cass Art to pick up more sketchbooks and watercolour paper. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.
