Exams underway...

The exams are underway now so I have little to do until the marking comes in. Tonight was almost an evening off!

We managed a nice light dinner of chicken and banana crêpes with mango chutney and lemon juice before popping up to our new arts centre in La Nucia to see an exhibition of Joan Miró lithographs called 'Homenatge a Joan Prats'. Very interesting, but with a lot more black in than I'm used to seeing in the examples of Miró's work shown in the text books. There is also an exhibition of local artists' work but we ran out of time. What a super place they have built. There were dance classes and art classes going on and piano and singing and all sorts.

Before going home we popped into the new library and found some books on Sorolla. What an amazing talent he was. One book showed superb photographs of him and his models as he was painting them.

I like this one that hangs in the Prado. It's called 'There are those that say fishing is expensive," which is an interesting title. I'm looking forward to getting up to Madrid once we start our holiday. It could turn into quite an educational trip!
