Dulwich Picture Gallery
This shouldn't be any surprise, if you follow my blog or social media or just know me in general, is that art is big part of my life. I love looking at art, studying and of course creating art. It's not just about pretty paintings, but culture, history and the present. I could ramble on ages about this, however this blog post is about admiring art displayed in Dulwich Picture Gallery, yes there is galleries in South London not all in Central or East London that some people may think. Also big thing for me, supply wheelchairs at the gallery, which is major plus for me, found the staff to be very helpful, once again makes the visit all that more pleasant. Just being in the presence of such fine art, listening to the curator as she explained the background to the paintings, just hearing the enthusiasm passion behind her speeches made me want to listen even more.
The pure detail in each of the painting, I did have my favourites I must say, which couple can be seen in my pics above, but not all sadly, for me this visit was about soaking up the art not trying to take the best photos. However did buy postcards of my favourite paintings, was a bit sad ok was stroppy couldn't find all of them which happened to be my number one out the selection, always the way.
Overall lovely little visit, also can walk around on their grounds, soak up the outdoors, have cool cafe sadly didn't get to sample any food or drink. The gallery situated in beautiful Dulwich Village, somewhere I would love to live if I was rich.
Do you visit art galleries? what galleries do you like, if you do?

Supporting The Arts With A Positive Message
When I was approached about this exhibition from a friend of a friend, instantly had my attention, we all know I like me bit of art. All the artist's have Down Syndrome showcasing paintings to photography, spreading awareness of Down Syndrome. Which will be held at Menier Gallery, London. Between 17th March to 22nd March. This is one of the many reasons why I love art anyone with a passion can do it, disabilities illnesses doesn't stop you being great artist.
If you have the opportunity take a look when it's open, if you want to know more check out their website click here. Has all the artists on there, and the story behind this exhibition, worth checking out. If I had transport and my health is steady I would defiantly be in attendance.
Please show it some love, good cause. x
