Well, May is out...

...and another year of viewing art at Brighton Open Houses is over. Now I will have to make do with spring watch on BBC.

May Bank holiday I spent in Wales. On Monday I had the luck to view a great art exhibition in Cardiff Museum called, "Sisley in England and Wales"... After the wonderful weather on Sunday, Monday was a shock, grey skies again! My friend had a brain wave and suggested the exhibition idea, and like lots of things in Wales it is free, so I was game. The museum is in a lovely setting and the building itself is as good as anything you find in London, but without the crowds. It is not just art, there is plenty more to see.

So this was my chance to view 17 wonderful items of work, including some sketches by Sisley. The exhibition (not large but well worth the visit) charters Sisley's visit to Wales, Penarth and the Gower in 1897. In fact, Sisley was married in Cardiff whilst he was there.
