I’ll bet that title got your attention! There is so much going on it is easy to become confused.
Today was another day at The National Gallery. Our aim was to spend the day sketching in the galleries and we succeeded. We split up and went our separate ways for several hours, seeking paintings to sketch. Jean completed two in color and Paul four in pencil.
We met at 3:00 PM for tea at the gallery’s wonderful cafe restaurant. Rob, Avni, and Paola provided us with gracious service and a most wonderful tea. Finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and an assortment of sweets, all accompanied by delicious tea. We highly recommend the gallery Cafe when you are in town.
After tea we went back to the gallery to review the progress of a couple of copyists who were painting today. It is amazing to see their oils in progress on easels in front of the originals.
We ended our day in Trafalgar Square where a new sculpture had been unveiled while we were in the museum. The giant blue rooster is the latest of modern sculptures to decorate the square. It is a sight!
Strange, but you did not seem to be confused at the Gallery cafe restaurant. You seem to continue having a great time. Wonderful! Looking forward to your next adventures in the heart of civilization!
Love the photos and blogging. Did you get to see Baby George?
Although we were living quite close to Kensington Palace we did not receive a formal introduction to the new heir.
