View from Tate Modern

[Rob MacKillop]

Went to the Georgia O'Keeffe with Rhona. Took lots of shots from the balcony of the Members Cafe (she's a member). Great view. DPOQuattro. Stunning exhibition, by the way, and really inspiring to Rhona.




Here's what she drew/painted afterwards, taken from a photograph she took of rocks near the Forth Bridge. She rattled this off in two hours.

Fine top image of a common scene and gorgeous drawing/painting from the hand of Rhona. I am impressed.

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a classic image of the big city, I never tire of looking at that view. Different perspective to mine taken from the lowly peasant's balcony.

That was a great exhibiton, I am glad you and Rhona enjoyed it. Great picture by her too, she has real talent.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

So, you're a peasant! I didn't think we let riffraff in here. I must have a word with the moderators!

 

[Brian Moore]

Fine cityscape and fine rockscape!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. Fine comment!

What's wrong being a peasant, you even find them in London occasionally, coming from the far north No not north-east!

Aye, the Laird may live in a castle int' 10 acres o' gardin. But were in not fer us 'ard workin' peasents, eed be livin' in a ruin int' 10 acres o' wildeness.

Nice view and a excellent painting by Rhona talented.
If you had mentioned you were down south in the big smoke I would of met up with you for a chat and let you see thee old C330

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ah. Opportunity missed, or at least delayed. I'm sure I'll be back.

 

[Pete Askew]

Cracking view and fabulous drawing. I can see that she was inspired. Must get to that exhibition, if not in London then in Berlin.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, it's a wonderful exhibition. I came away a big fan. The whole family is. Susan spent some time on the Lawrence's farm where O'Keeffe did many of her classic paintings. She and Rhona are hatching plans to get back there some day.

The exhibition also has photos by Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, and her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, showing how clearly she was influenced, at times, by photography.
