Once more, the lovely Rony Bridges and Michaela Foster Marsh are holding another auction to raise funds for Starchild. The Glasgow charity helps orphaned children in Uganda. In the hope of raising more pennies to finish building the school for creative arts and music I along with many artists have donated work and musical instruments and art materials to help the project along. This youtube link is the lovely Michaela explaining the project..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq3ZdiM_52U Starchild is a worthwhile cause. If you are looking for art work and a chance to donate some pennies then it will be worth your while following the auction. Many artworks are picked up for a fraction of the gallery prices and you will feel humbled by where your money is going. Please support https://www.facebook.com/pages/Starchild-in-Memory-of-Frankie-Marsh/380996765309781

Happy 2011A year to look forward to for all of us I hope. I wish you all a year of good news and good health. For me so far well, January has seen my work exhibited in Edinburgh once more. Both in Coburg Street and Charlotte Square at the Edinburgh World Heritage Centre. Also I have been creating in my shed something that will be seen in Dunfermline Abbey. With Red Field Arts http://www.another-land.co.uk the project will be a stunning installation that should not be missed. Back in December I took myself off for three days to Amsterdam. I did think that I would avoid the snow, but no, it was as deep there. Landing in Schipol Airport my suitcase I discovered went in another direction, to Stanstead apparently. This was a BIG Deal as my warm clothes and painkillers were all packed inside it. Not good... But, apart from that I did get to see the beautiful and reported to be the last painting by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The painting of St John the Baptist Reclining was being shown for the first time at the Rembrandt House Museum. From a foreign private collection the painting has increasingly been accepted as an authentic Caravaggio by experts since its discovery in 1976. They also consider this painting to be the very last work by the renowned Italian master and date it to 1610. This work of art will be shown to the public for the first time exactly four hundred years after it was painted.
