I should endure posting nigh ii botanical fine art exhibitions but it's a long story! They are:
I had a delightful see at the halt of August to the exhibition that the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society held during the calendar month of August at the The Gallery at the Chelsea Physic Garden.
The Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society's aim is to practice a collection of drawings as well as paintings which tape the plants growing inwards the garden. It was formed inwards 1995. The collection at the Physic Garden at 1 time comprises some 570 botanical paintings or drawings selected as well as gifted past times members of the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society to the Garden over the concluding xviii years.
Treasures from a Hidden Garden: Plant portraits past times the Florilegium Society included business office of this collection, most of which own got never previously been seen. It comprised a broad attain of botanical illustrations - amongst most painted inwards watercolour. There was nevertheless an fantabulous department of operate inwards pen as well as ink. By the real nature of the society, the exhibition is emphatically leans to a greater extent than towards botanical illustration than floral - amongst some fantabulous examples of consummate botanical portrayals.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 option of the works on display volition also endure seen at the RHS Autumn Show at the Horticultural Halls inwards Westminster on Oct 22nd-23rd.
Artwork which stood out for me included
One matter I practice experience that the Society needs to do. It needs a website - or at the real to the lowest degree a Facebook Page. That means they tin attain the sack portion what they practice amongst a wider audience as well as all the other Florilegium Societies to a greater extent than or less the world.
The Florum Annual Exhibition opened to the populace today at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. It continues until 14th September as well as is opened upward every twenty-four hours 10am to 5pm - entry is free.
The belatedly founder Elizabeth Smail’s ethos centred on the Florum exhibition beingness “broader than botanical” as well as 10 years later this philosophy is no different. There are lx artists displaying botanical as well as floral artwork - drawings, paintings as well as fine fine art prints. They ever practice a roaring occupation organisation (I came away amongst a lovely woodcut concluding year).
The exhibition is at the Kent Wildlife Trust's Sevenoaks Reserve, inwards Bradbourne Road, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 3DH. The keen matter is that this is an exhibition which is accessible past times car - amongst gratis parking!
I was supposed to endure at that spot concluding nighttime - but after overheating inwards the high temperatures experienced during our see to Hampton Court Palace, I had a bad night's sleep. I brand a indicate of never driving at nighttime when tired - as well as thence I missed the PV. This wasn't a occupation every bit I decided I could larn today - as well as and thence write the review.
So nosotros got inwards the car early on afternoon as well as headed off - alone to notice that the whole of my neighbourhood was experiencing gridlock. Knowing total good that this tin attain the sack larn on for hours (as inwards ii hours to larn less than a mile) when it's bad, nosotros turned circular as well as went dorsum domicile piece nosotros silent were able to retrace our journey.
So we're going to endeavor 1 time again tomorrow!
(I afterward constitute out that it was a demonstration past times the EDL as well as that the Metropolitan Police inwards their "wisdom" decided that diverting traffic inwards a major means as well as creating massive gridlock problems for everybody else trying to come upward into or locomote out Tower Hamlets was preferable to making the EDL demonstrate inwards an expanse which is unlikely to crusade offence. This is at 1 time twice that this has happened as well as caused a major occupation for the whole of the borough. Time I intend for the Met Police to own got a major rethink! It's totally unsatisfactory for everybody else's comings as well as goings to grind to a consummate halt.)

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 option of the works on display volition also endure seen at the RHS Autumn Show at the Horticultural Halls inwards Westminster on Oct 22nd-23rd.
Artwork which stood out for me included
- a coloured pencil drawing of Salvia past times Jo Edwards. It displayed a real fragile impact as well as amazingly subtle rendering of the construction as well as texture of the leaves as well as real fine colouration of the different parts of the plant
- Catharine Nicholson's pen as well as ink drawings of Ferns. These were only amazing. Sadly Catharine died aged 52 of thorax cancer inwards 2011. This was her obituary inwards The Guardian. I highly commend you lot own got a hold back at her website. I've seen it earlier as well as recollect how impressed I was amongst all her work. She sets a real high touchstone for those wanting to operate inwards pen as well as ink. Her reply to cancer is also reminiscent of Rory McEwen.
