Cloud did indeed give way to rain, but not before a little light lunch at the Seaview Hotel, a long-standing favourite for celebrities visiting the Isle of Wight. This particular hotel was not short on artwork and even in the ‘Ladies’ there were a couple of choice collages. It’s good to see Island art finding it’s way into unexpected places. Also made a couple of impulse purchases at a Jalopy shop come hardware store I discovered along the way that was full of cut-price miscellanea. Couldn’t resist the enormous roll of doubled-over plastic sheeting. My mind went simultaneously to the allotment for propagation and children’s workshops for making messy artwork in the form of plastic banners. I hope the spade and picture hooks I came out with will also prove useful. It was ‘that’ sort of shop where you just can’t keep your hands off a bargain.  Hoping to have something a bit more meaningful to comment on next time.  Signing out as ‘artist with the hoarding instinct’.
