City of Culture

Daniel and I had a little adventure into Hull at the weekend, primarily to see the monumental wind turbine blade residing in Queen Victoria Square.. but we also perused a couple of artsy sites including Humber Street Gallery and Ferens Art Gallery where I found the following delights.


Georgie by Arthur Gaskin (above) and Study of a Young Woman by Thomas Cooper Gotch (below), both of which got me wanting to place bold colours next to elaborate patterns on paper..


In contrast, I also enjoyed this mellowed yin yang avocado painting by Helen Bradshaw from within the open exhibition..


And last but not least, these underfoot floor panels with their pressure shifting ink were addictive..
