Hi everyone,
So last Tuesday I was lucky enough to
go to an art exhibition – Genius and Ambition: The Royal Academy of Arts,
London 1768-1918 at Bendigo Art Gallery.
The Royal Academy was founded by King
George III in 1768 and was the primary art institution in the United until the
beginning of the 20th century. It’s located in Piccadilly, London
and its mission was to promote the arts of design in Britain through education
and exhibition.
The exhibition
itself brought almost a hundred works together. Some of the featured artists
were JMW Turner, Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable, Sir Joshua Reynolds,
William Waterhouse and Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
Some of my
favourites were Dolbaden Castle by Turner, A Mermaid by Waterhouse and Vanity
by Frank Cadogan Cowper.
Anyway, it was
well worth seeing. So if you’re anywhere near Bendigo here are the details
Sorry that the
photos are a bit blurry but you get an idea of their awesomeness

On
the writing front I’ve finished the edits for Seizing Heaven and have almost done with the revisions for Black is the Colour. I’m hoping to get
it finished over Easter (fingers crossed).
I’ll
do another Bewitching Blurbs soon – sorry I was carried away by the fab
exhibition.
Thanks
for stopping by.
Nicóle
