At least inspired my Dad do go and have a look at some Art. He went to the St David's Hall show and make a shortlist of stuff he really liked, some of which I concerred with and he chose the other work by Pascal Michel-Dubois than the one I had actually considered buying him, so at least I hadn't spent in vain.
My new temp job is in Cardiff Uni on Newport Road. Had lunch in the cafeteria today and blow me but there are 7 canvases from around 1940-1960 and then in their midst a naff repro of Monet's poppyfield. No labels, one crooked and all being ignored. Some look really high quality and I will investigate!
One is a painting of the JFK assassination, its all dense layours of black paint, very matt and velvety with colour, mostly bright lime for outlines and Jackie's pink pillarbox hat, the view is cropped so the bottom is the top edge of the car, its brilliant.
People should see them.
Planning Art Club like Book Club more in my mind now.
Loving the new temp job, today "you've been marvelous" and slightly challenging and learning new word and excel tricks, thought I'd exhausted that, but good to learn. Only downside staplers and so forth not so great, in fact the keyboard is rather worn and slowed my typing speed.
