Thoroughly enjoying seeing my gran's birth certificate that is very clearly doctored to make her 5 years younger. A date which was stuck on the plaque on her coffin. Like she's very obviously written eighteen over thirteen in biro and turned the 3 into an 8 lol

Oh hello there - I'm having a massive studio sale on my site www.lucypickford.art/store 👀 If I can sell just 2-4 paintings a month I can afford a studio 👀 just saying 👀 I've also added a load on new cyanotypes I produced recently which are a great way to access affordable art!

Lots of floaty ethereal flora prints too www.lucypickford.art/store/cyanot...

Happy World Book Day! The only day I celebrate other than pancake day. As you can imagine, I'm having a great week

It’s World Book Day. I’m going as Arthur Dent’s feeling of general bewilderment.

Wonder if one of the new turncoats talks is going to be about bullying in the industry lol

A day-trip to Cambridge to see the wonderful Glenn Ligon exhibition at the Fitzwilliam. Some beautiful interventions, and none more so than this, the shadows of removed early Renaissance works visible on the gold wallpaper, Ligon's work keeping an early C16 Dutch Adoration of the Kings company.

Anybody on here an expert in old glass roof tiles? This kind of thing…
