Such a great day; so many galleries! First Laura, Felix and I went to the Scottish National Gallery to see the Turner exhibition. What I found so interesting was that his water colours are only loaned out in January, because that's when the light levels are at their lowest. As always I was blown away by his paintings. What I love the most about his work is his ability to capture so much drama and emotion, without spelling it out for us in detailed drawing. Looking at his work is like peering into someone's dream; nothing is definite but what you see is beautiful.
Then we had a look around the Fruit Market Gallery which was equally enthralling. There was this one room where the walls were lined with life size photographic portraits of people who all seemed to be starring at you, it was very disconcerting.
And last but not least Laura and I had a quick look in the City Art Centre just before it shut.
All in all a lovely day full of lovely art!
