Artist of the gods...

Terry Cripps' interview repeat tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow...Sunday February 14...did you catch his exhibition at The Space this week? Brilliant! He showed paintings from his latest book ‘Erik, the lost god of Crete‘...a tale about a god left abandoned on Crete.The story is inspired by the view across the olive groves at Zakros on the eastern coast of Crete and the reading of Robert Graves’ book on Greek myths and legends.

At the exhibition, he told me about a strange coincidence which links his work to ancient Crete...so tune in on Tuesday and hear more!

By the way, that's me above...taken by my elder daughter, Lucie... she's a great photographer!

News flash!
This year I'm starting a charity of the month and I will give out details of that charity during the show ... so if you want to nominate your charity, and post a comment on this blog.

This also means I won't have time to read a what's-on, so again, just post to your what's-on on the blog as a comment and I will make it live just as soon as I can. Pass the word around. Please!

The first charity, of course -- for those who know me, will be The Encephalitis Society ... the charity very dear to my heart. Check it out on www.encephalitis.info.
