As I may have mentioned before, the Ghosts of Gone Birds exhibition has finally arrived in London, at the Rochelle School in Shoreditch, a three minute walk north from Shoreditch High Street station.
A beautiful, thought provoking and in places genuinely moving collection, much more (oh so much more!) that 'just' bird paintings, this is really good art with a story to tell. If you get the chance, do make an effort to go and see the exhibition: it's free entry, and is also a selling gallery, so if you like what you see, spend your money and raise money to help prevent any more bird extinctions.
(And if anyone has a spare �7K, Darren Rees's spectacular canvas of a flock of Carolina Parakeets would look great on my wall!)
