Taking a break.

I'm off to London for a few days and I'm really excited at the thought of going to the Lucian Freud exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. The last time I saw his work it was at a retrospective he shared with Francis Bacon at the Fondation Maeght at Saint-Paul-de-Vence in the South of France. On that visit I also remember going to the Matisse chapel at Vence. I had been before and I have been since and I am always entranced with the place. I thought at the time how lucky to find the work of these British painters showing in this beautiful part of France.
