Durer

 A highlight of my London trip was visiting the Durer exhibition at the National Gallery. It was about his travels and featured the iconic and also the less well known. Small items caught my eye such as pages from his journal not to mention the paintings. It was a fascinating exhibition, not too crowded and thanks to the gallery staff who let us in despite having turned up late as I had got the ticket  time wrong in my head.

Wonderful water colours of fantastic costumes.

The above is great inspiration for some tabletop scenery , buildings that would work for a variety of periods. I loved the lynx drawing, he is full of character.

A splendid large painting that was one of the exhibition highlights for many.

The Duke himself beside an advertising banner. All in all great visit .

There was even time to pop by ( after a well earned light lunch in the cafe ) and see this old friend and favourite-
