On the bus to Hull.

Hello. I felt like going out today, so I drove to Barton, left my car there and went on the bus to Hull, thus saving the bridge toll, and the hassle of battling through the traffic. On the way there I stopped off close to the banks of the Humber and went scavenging for stones along the beach. Not really a beach, you couldn't sun bathe there, I picked up a few of varying sizes, tomorrow I will wash them. The boat is on it's way back out to sea, after discharging it's load further inland, it's moving quite quickly through the water. 

The Open Exhibition at Ferens art Gallery was the main reason for me going to Hull. It's only on for two more weeks, and I wanted to see it before it closed. Last years Open was very good, but in my opinion this one wasn't as good. Hardly any textile art, was that why mine wasn't chosen, and not much to get excited about either, so not many photo's. This patchwork quilt wall hanging was lovely.

Gawd knows what this is about, but it was big and bright and cheerful.

An atmospheric woodland painting, has an air of mystery about it.

Dotty painting is very popular, there are lots of videos on yoootooob about how to paint mandalas.

This was quite interesting close up. It was painted onto embossed wallpaper. Very clever I thought. Not a good photo because it's behind glass.

I liked this pile of things wrapped in wool and fabric. Looks like a pile of toffees. Mostly round balls with some square shaped objects, hard to tell what is underneath the wrapping.

I had a quick look around Hull, but soon got fed up, I have seen it all before. There is supposed to be a lot of graffiti art but I couldn't find it so I gave up and went back to the bus station.

It's the weekend, so enjoy yourself whatever you are doing. I shall be pottering around the house and garden, doing something arty and crafty. Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.
Toodle pip.
