RWA Exhibition
This RWA exhibition is on till the end of December
I took a few sneaky shots - not sure if you're allowed to.
Unfortunately I don't know the names of most of the artists.
This is the inside of a large many-sided structure
Forerunner of the Bristol pound?
Striking picture. Don't know who it's by. Something about memory? Is there a face there?
I think this is called "Burnt Stubble".
Sculpture Figure with shoes instead of a head.
DJ Derek. Famous Bristol DJ. I've seen a few artistic representations of him over the years.
Damien Hirst. The famous artist. I don't think these are real butterfly wings. I hope not.
I think these two are by an artist called Rita Dee. http://www.rwa.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/2012/11/rita-dee/
Mosque type building. Didn't get artist's name.

Open Studios now gone, but this link should take you to the artists.
Moo I've just ordered some postcards with these. Not that cheap by the time you add on VAT and postage, but an interesting way to show off your art.

Space Telescope
This is some sort of nebula where stars are being born. They look a bit like camels holding sparklers.
Jonathan Jones wrote in the Guardian about the photographs from space being the best art around in these days.
Here are shots from the Hubble telescope

Easton Arts Trail 2012
Easton Arts Trail 2012
Some snaps from the arts trail weekend.
I didn't get round to a lot of things and didn't take that many photos, but here's a few.
Rainy Day.
This seemed appropriate as it was a showery weekend.
This and the paintings below were done by children at Whitehall primary school.
More children's paintings. The Royals, I think.

My Comment: Claude Monet was a great painter but he has made a basic error here. Can you spot what it is? Yes, he's made the man's head far too big compared to his body. Unless he really knew someone who looked like that.
