Paper Cut

At Owen Gildersleeve & Friends’ open studio we saw the work of cut paper artists (Owen Gildersleeve and Helen Ferry).

Throughout May we visited Brighton artists’ open studios at the weekends. At Sarah Shaw‘s studio I was taken by all the collections of old paint tubes, brushes, palettes and other supplies and took several pictures. Sarah held up a window frame used as a palette for one of them.

Never Again

I wasn’t sure how to read this. Is it a defense (Jews must never be attacked again) or a rebuke of Israeli government policy (we must never allow another genocide of any people, like the one that happened to us)?

On the Beach

Good luck with that!

We went up to Presidio Park and visited the Junipero Serra Museum (the Spanish Missionary who planted a cross here, declaring the lands in the name of Christ). Afterwards we walked around the Park and eventually descended the hill to Old Town.
