Millais

millaisExhib.jpgShirls and I popped up to London at the weekend to check out Tate Britain's Millais Exhibition.  I was amazed!  Millais is my favourite artist, and I was expecting to see a few new pictures, thinking that I had seen most, if not all of the ones I really wanted to see.

Truly stunning.  But as you might see from the banner at the top of the page, you need to hurry if you'd like to follow in our footsteps - the exhibition closes a week Sunday!

Poo! Why can't it stay until April? I guess if I had to miss it I can begrudgingly be glad that you at least got to see it. ;-)

You'll have to make do with my copy of the exhibition book ;-)

I'm sure we'll manage to find some amazing exhibition or other when you're here...
