Cool Blue Legends



On the advice of a recent acquaintance we visited the Kellie Miller Arts Gallery in Church Street and saw these lovely ceramics by Elizabeth Price, among many other interesting pieces.

We came upon Quadrophenia Alley again, this time from the next street over and discovered there was more to it than we had first seen.









Almost 1000 years of art and history, like one of the first full length portraits of Henry VIII, above.








We took a train trip to Chichester and visited the cathedral. Postcard-style photographs follow:

Many of the rooms were decorated around the theme of a particular colour.





The Royal Pavilion filled us with conflicting feelings: on the one hand it was gorgeous, ornate, beautiful, rococo, inspiring beauty; on the other its luxury and opulence were disgusting condemnations of the inequity in human societies.




We put off visiting the Royal Pavilion for a long time. Who wants to gawk at the opulence of oppressing royalty. Eventually, on a dull, grey day we submitted to boredom and went.











During May we visited several open studios. The work above is crocheted, by Kate Jenkins.
