Moore, Moore, Moore

I went to Kew Gardens for the first time yesterday and ended up spending three hours wandering around...

I didn't even see everything and while those who love flowers and fauna are catered for in the greenhouses I went for the Henry Moore sculptures.

I found them inspiring and loved seeing them and being able to move around them and touch then and feel the contours. I have so many pictures with the fading light as well as the sunshine.

I walked so much yesterday carrying a heavy artbook that I'd bought earlier but it wasn't until later the same evening that I really felt my legs going.

I haven't been that impressed as I was with some of those sculptures for a longtime but I think the success of the exhibition is in the outdoor nature and the sheer scale of some of the pieces which are big! The fact that you could touch the pieces and see them surrounded by natural forms probably enhanced the experience too.

Other things that continue to surprise and impress me is Miles Davis...I have a jazz smart playlist on shuffle on my itunes with 321 tracks and invariably I don't know all of them but when I check to see something I like it seems more often than not to be Miles Davis.

More sculpture pics soon!
