Wisley

A chrysanthemum - or something Princess Margaret would have worn on her head?



The hothouse was the only source of bright colours at Wisley this weekend.

Elsewhere the rust tones of Autumn predominated.

Explain that

The huge Gauguin exhibition at the Tate Modern is a riot of beautiful colour. It is possible to get right up to many of the paintings and so examine closely the way Gauguin layered and blended colours.


Yet oddly it was Ai Weiwei's installation down in the Turbine Hall, a huge expanse of grey ceramic sunflower seeds, which gave me the most pleasure.
