The exhibition at the Lewis Gallery at Rugby School is up and running. It’s a great space that easily accommodates the considerable number of works by the 5 artists. I am the guest artist at this particular venue, showing with Caroline Lumb, Hillary Taylor, Jo Howe and Janie Graham.

I found it amusing that in Japan that I should end up with a plastic carrier bag adorned with a map of Paris on it. I suppose I take it for granted but the Japanese do do very good artisan bread.

My plan was to take the 1519h train from Kanazawa to Kyoto. This would give me time to explore Kanazawa a little more. After asking for opinions on where to go with a limited time to the tourist office, the…
