On a cold february morning what better than to go to Tate Britain to the Hockney Retrospective !

Such amazing work , wonderful colours and such accomplished drawing skills . His charcoal tree drawings blow me away !

Favourite bits were the drawings , the four season videos and his i pad drawings which show so well how he approaches a subject and works through to the end in adding line colour and details , stunning . Will definitely be returning several times before it ends on the 29thMay !

Joseph Frank at the Fashion and Textile Museu by Rowena Ardern

ust been to the Joseph Frank exhibition at the Fashion and Textiles Museum in Bermondsey [nearest station London Bridge] which blew me away ! There are his fabric designs and patterns ,some applied to furniture, and some unknown but beautiful watercolour paintings .Full of colour and optimism it is the perfect place to go to inspire .
Interestingly enough he was creating these in the interwar and the second world war " whilst racism , genocide and bombings affected people all over the world , Frank depicted Paradise . " So appropriate today too and on until the 7th of May so plenty of time for a visit !
