Autumn sun
Today we went to Sir Harold Hillier Gardens near Romsey. We got there for lunch, and the children did behave themselves : ) Then we strolled around the garden for about 2 hours admiring both the fantastic autumn colours and the art, some of which is above, and below;
There was some really nice pieces of art, but there were also some pieces which were not great, and very expensive at the same time! I want to be open to all art, but some of the stuff there, was just awful! There were a couple of pieces by one artist, that were so expensive, and so uninspiring, and with no creativity that I almost thought they were there as a joke!
I’m not trying to bitch about art or artists, but I can fully understand why people think anyone can be an artist and then wack a huge price tag on it. A real shame…
Hopefully another post later about me, me and me!

Nice autumny pics. I know what you mean about ‘ART’ = big price tag, it’s a bit like the story of the Emperors new clothes. It’s a shame that lots of people haven’t got the confidence to see or maybe they just believe the media hype about art only being art because somebody pretentious made it – don’t get me started on Damien Hirst!

How funny, thats where we were on Sunday in the downpour you describe, all under golf umberellas and really wet. Sorry about the driving conditions, but what did you buy?
