A ery quick trip to London last week for work. I've grown very fond of the city for both personal and professional reasons. That's good because I average 10-11 trips a year. My wife and I are seriously considering moving there one day.
I rarely remember to take pictures and when I do it's of more random locations. The first picture is of a church in Notting Hill after a breakfast meeting. It's rare to see the sun in January in the UK.
London can also be a spectacularly silly city, as evidenced by the Hausner & Wirth art gallery on Saville Row, which is some really pricey real estate. The "art" on display is essentially construction debris. It's a solo show from the artist Monika Sosnowska titled "Structural Exercises" and appears to be made up from debris from construction and/or demolition sites. Perhaps I'm doomed to an unenlightened life as my only reaction to the "art" is to compliment the artist for pulling a fast one over the gallery.
Hurry the show end on Feb 10th, 2018.
The highlight of the trip was meeting up with Sidney Roundwood (his non-de-plume) on Friday night. One of the joys of this hobby and blogging is all the wonderful people you meet along the journey. This fact is especially true with the those involved in the Challenge and being able to meet Sidney in person was a real pleasure. He sales has exceptional taste in wine so I heartily recommend allowing Mr Roundwood "control" of the wine list!
Now back to painting

Aha! So thats what my Monday Minion and "he of the golden brush" looks like!
Glad to hear your most recent trip didn't involve any vehicular excitement mate
And I thought the gallery was vacant!
It's brilliant that you linked up with Sid during your visit. He's an absolutely capital fellow and, yes, a bit of a wino. ;)
You must have got the only sunny day in January!
