Little is Enough for Those with Love


Little is Enough for Those with Love, 2019

Sad Man with Flowers, 2019

A new artist and a new gallery - to me at least - I loved the Cassi Namoda exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery last week. Intimate and colourful paintings about love, family and cultural traditions in Maputo, the artist's birthplace.
Well worth a visit: see here for details. On display until 7th March 2020.

Bucharest

A recent adventure in Bucharest, Romania - the first stop of a train holiday inspired by my mum's past travels. Bucharest is like nowhere I've been before - crumbling disrepair and new buildings alongside. The centre of the city seems to convey some wealth and stability - the old town full of history and beautiful buildings. Close by though things start to fray very quickly... We walked from the city centre to the international train station where we were catching a train up to the Transylvanian Mountains... more to come
