Lion

A photo of a lion at Saltaire by my friend Timothy Hargreaves.

I think I remember him telling me that the lions at Trafalgar square in London were made by the same sculptor. There are on the hill going down to the entrance of Salts Mill in Saltaire, Yorkshire, and they look extremely magnificent in the Spring sunshine. I wish we had sculptures like this nearby. It’s very impressive and I think Victorian?

Hubby drawing

We went out last weekend and I suggested that my hubby did a drawing while we were out. This was me looking back at him as he sat and drew. I think drawing helps calm you down. Takes your mind off things, helps you concentrate. I think people should take a pen or pencil and some paper out with them. Just look at something to draw, it could be a tree, a statue, a building, a flower. Look at what you are drawing and try and understand it. Try not to make it up but really look. I think everyone should learn art. The world needs Art and artists. Sculptors, photographers, printers. Those skills help coordination. That’s what I feel…..
