Amsterdam...
Paris...
And.... I did say the world's most beautiful cities? (wait for this!)
There it was, dear Mr Snippets spotted it hanging there...a Henderson Cisz limited edition of...one of the world's most beautiful cities...
Can you guess?
Go on guess!!
Give up?
Sure?
OK THEN...
My photo does not do this justice at all!
You see, we did not want the frame in which it was displayed.(fine for the gallery but not for our lounge) so we bought it unframed and dashed back to downtown Newton Abbot to 'Frames and Boxes' and it was only then, when we were told that it would take a week, that I realised that I needed a photo for the blog! But I will display it again, properly, in all its glory, next week.
It is such a fabulous, large painting and I can't wait until next Friday morning , when you will all be invited to the 'Hanging Ceremony' LOL ;-)
Our lounge, 11 ish... coffee and cake provided.
See you there.... and in the meantime...have a lovely weekend!
Beautiful paintings! I have a close friend who lives in Torquay - she doesn't like it much either! x

Love the photos of the paintings you took and you have been very busy in your craft room. Good for you. Have a nice weekend too.
ReplyDeleteBet you got really excited when you saw the Exeter one!! I do like them, remember when they had a gallery in Exeter?? I like the London ones best.
ReplyDeleteI see you like Miss Read books - I've near met anyone who likes those. I have loads, I think they're really lovely - takes you back to a nicer age. I would love to live there :) x
Looking forward to the private view!!! What wonderful paintings, they have a real vintagey feel to them don't they. They remind me of something and I can't remember what, something from an old book I've got, will have a rummage and let you know! Fantastic that you found one for your lounge/ Take care

I really like the red this artist uses in his paintings. I must say one would look rather lovely in my lounge too. I would have loved to have been at the unveiling, but I am at work! x
ReplyDeleteI loved the photos
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! i love the movement and colours in the paintings. Is he a current painter?.. they look almost 1960's in feel.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it framed up in it's glory.
Happy Sunday Sal!
with love

When I was looking through all the paintings I was actually thinking I wonder if he has painted Exeter at all? and then there it was!!! You must have been SO excited.
ReplyDeleteI shall be there with bells on to see it displayed in all its glory..
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog, you're right, I shall not let it bother me, I sometimes get myself all worked up for no reason and I know I shouldn't!

I loved seeing all those wonderful paintings! You are so lucky to have such art. It will be special when you hang the beauty in your home :)

I haven't heard of this artist before so thanks for introducing him to me. I love his paintings.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful, colourful paintings - I too had never heard of Henderson Cisz so thank you for the introduction. Your cathedral painting is lovely and very soon now it will be framed and gracing your lounge with its presence.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sal for commenting on myorn and blog, I was actually born in and grew up in Exeter and yeah I agree it is a great city, not too sure on the whole new shopping things I prefer the more individual stores than loads of chain shops.
ReplyDeleteI to love scrapbooking and also do quite alot of home decor using scrapbooking materials. I get most of my stuff from QVC and love K & Co. Will keep watching your blog for other posts.
Take Care
