Just back from the Helene Schjerfbeck show at The Met. It's wonderful to have so much work from this powerful Finnish painter in New York. This is 'Self Portrait, Black Background' from 1915. It's on loan from The Finnish National Gallery.

Sheds.
Engine sheds. Potting sheds. Garden sheds. Wood sheds. Bike sheds. Boat sheds.
Another date for your diary- an exhibition at Turner House Penarth with Lee John Phillips about our shared love of sheds; open Jan the 15th; evening reception on the 16th.
More details soon!

It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

Hospital update: my lung’s not fully inflated yet, so the chest drain remains for as long as it takes - progress is progress, even when it’s slow and takes its own steady pace. Big effort this morning. Healing isn’t linear - just grateful for every breath that works a little harder.
