Two weeks ago I was sat in one of possibly the most boring lectures I had experienced, and I was lost at the connection between the paintings I was being shown, and photography. The lecturer began talking about photographs seeing us seeing them. Although I was confused by this statement, she had grabbed my attention.

Grammy arrived on Tuesday and hung out with me at the Tyke's school while I had a meeting about the Nativity play with the reception teachers. She made friends with the cleaning staff (lovely, lovely women) who took very good care of her and brought her tea and chocolate cake.

A few months ago I was wandering along the waterfront in Baltimore and came across the gallery of Robert McClintock in Fells Point. Once I got past the abundance of work on display and met his wife who runs the gallery, I learned about his unique process of combining photography and digital painting. Some of the perspectives used in his paintings have a camera lens feel to them with a hand-painted...

Edge of the Forest (Ca. 1963) Bread and Wine (ca. 1966) I had not intended to come back on a sad note, but was sorry to learn of the death of Albert York, an American artist whose work I know primarily through a profile of him that appeared in The New Yorker in 1995.
