Met two of my chums from the bookshop for a walk around the artist's fair at Edinburgh Printmakers & a stroll around the gallery.

Followed with hot chocolate on a cold day in the lovely cafe there as we chatted & compared purchases. I bought this cute, tiny ceramic Selkie (which I thought looked a little Studio Ghibli-esque).

Perfect Sunday...

We found this A/P etching by Dennis Ward in a vintage place in Leith today. Titled ‘Confrontation at Brodgar, Orkney’, it has a brooding light-and-darkness quality reminiscent of many of Orkney’s landscapes.

It turns out Ward was latterly Professor Emeritus of Russian Studies at Edinburgh University, and in fact the first Professor of Russian there, and was chair of Edinburgh Printmakers in the late 1990s.
