The new guard

I will admit I'm not lovin' life at the moment. Not for any terrible reason, just an avalanche of little things - I'm very time poor at the moment and my wish to write has been over ruled by a litany of dreary time consuming demands that must be done as a priority. I'm physically tired, and I know if I could steal some time to exercise, that would help, but alas that's not working for me either.

However, such is the way of the world, and being a grown up.


The fabulous Shot gun wedding dress



At the gallery the other week, I was taken with an artist, eX de MEDICI who was formally a tattoo artist evolved into a street artist and now a fully fledged 'artist' in the National Gallery. I love the evolution, and have been saying for years that Adnate is the most talented artist on the planet at the moment, and the format is irrelevant. The street artists are the modern equivalent of the Fauves. They're changing the rules, requiring us to rethink our yardstick for evaluating art,  So I was pleased to see that the National Gallery was in agreement.

 Do you like street art? Who is your favourite artist?

Are you #LovinLife?

    What talent! I think art is art, whether it's indoors or out!

    I do like street art, but afraid I know so little about it I couldn't tell you the names of any artists.

    PS. I've been feeling crappy of late too. Something in the air perhaps!

    Having your house topsy turvey and half packed away doesn't help! Hope you are still breathing ...
    That is gorgeous art. No doubt about it.
    Thanks so much for linking with the Lovin' Life Linky again! Especially when you're not lovin' life as much as usual.

    I'm sorry about you not loving life - truly. I love life, my work, and all... but right now I'm being worked up for severe and acute shortness of breath. It gets in the way of almost everything... except my enjoyment of precious moments and of our weekly photo linkup and the photos that regular visitors (such as yourself) share.

    I hope your life takes a happier turn, and thank you for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/05/simply-squirrelly.html

    This time of year always makes me feel blurrgh. I hate that feeling of always playing catch up, time to breathe seems to never come soon enough. Street art is something I would love to see first hand, living out in the sticks, we don't see much of it, except for the odd graffiti tag on a fence.

    'Adulting' is hard some days.
    I'm not much into art but I went to MONA recently and it all blew me away.
    Exercise has really improved my outlook in the last month.
    Take care of yourself first.
    Thanks for linking up (last week) I'm catching up due to a busy week.
