Going north east

11/6/2013

0 Comments

 
A quick plug for the Baltic and the Festival of the North East for this next weekend.  I shall be driving up very early on the Friday, but as long as the weather doesn't produce fog or torrential rain or (I'm sure it's possible) snow, it should be quite a nice, quiet and pleasant journey.  I know there are plenty of people up and around a lot earlier than I normally am, but not too many, surely...

    Hi there

    I make prints and book arts, though nowhere near as often as I'd like - no good reason, just an inability to get on with things.  I occasionally go on about landscape (with which I am mildly obsessed) and various of its elements, and I like to pass comment on exhibitions I visit.
