I saw a brief interview on the television this evening with the actor Timothy Spall talking about his role in Mike Leigh’s film, Mr. Turner. He did a lot of art training for it and said that one of the things that has lasted is that he now looks hard at everything around him, noticing far more than he did before. And I think that’s something that artists do, we look more than most people and the more you look, the more you see. I took these photos this evening as I was walking home from the print workshop. The light from the low winter sun was gorgeous, golden and sparkling and illuminating the dingy urban alleyways.
I have some work in both the exhibitions below, if you’re passing through The Rhondda Valley or Cardiff, please pop in…..

Beautiful photos!
Thank you. In the right place at the right time 😊
That was a fantastic film. I loved how they focused on the landscapes that he was painting, rsther than only the paintings themselves. Maybe santa can get me a copy for Christmas.
It’s a fabulous film. It’s on Film 4 on UK tv this week
