Scrutinizing the frames and going to Brighton

Last Wednesday we had a meeting with the BA group to finalise one or two things. We agreed on the wine and food issue and are keeping things simple. Hopefully help will be on hand from the assistance of first year students who will serve drinks at the event. We send out invites soon and on Monday we have to start to paint the studio in traditional colours of grey and white.
Saturday found me at the Gerhard Richter Portraits exhibition where I scrutinized the frames and presentation to the best of my ability. I made jottings in the little pamphlet about appearance and size. I also noted those paintings with no frame at all ,and those that are framed once and the placed in another glass fronted frame for good measure. I looked at the edges of some of the unframed ones and noted if they were painted clean or left as they were, a very instructive visit.
Today we intended to go down to Brighton to look into some galleries , but this did not happen because it was the 50Th anniversary of the the Mini motor car and a huge rally was held in their honour in Brighton. An amazing cavalcade of little cars of every colour, age and modification was heading down the motor way in the same direction. So we decided to go to Hove instead ,and then on to a barbecue at an acquaintance's house, but it rained so we stayed inside for Pims and ginger ale
