Landscapes

The Mall Galleries in London have gone all poetic with their latest offering, which runs from 21 to 26 February: Landscapes of Sunlight and Evening in British Art by the Society of Landscape Painters. "This retrospective exhibition pays homage to the rich flowering of landscape painting in Britain in the late 20th and early 21st century." Surely they could have found a better painting than this daub with which to promote the show: Harvest, Provence by Frederick Gore CBE RA. It looks like something one of the Crays knocked up in Parkhurst. Still, admission is free. You can't grumble at that.
