Elf Portrait

Self Portrait 2014
(digital media 297x210mm)

Inspired by the magnificent works on display in the 'Masterpieces Exhibition' at the Sainsbury Centre,University of East Anglia, I rushed to the 'Cabine' to produce this less than magnificent elf portrait.

If you live locally why not give yourself a real artistic treat by visiting the Masterpieces Exhibition?  Viewing the watercolour paintings of  Venice by John Piper are alone  worth the entrance fee. Not to mention the paintings by Constable, Gainsborough, Stubbs and Cotman and sculpture by Giacometti, Hepworth, Epstein, and Frink.  Nice collection of photographs too, great image of Henry Blogg, East Anglian lifeboatman, unassuming hero and all round credit to the human race.

One of my more interesting projects as an architect was being part of the team that designed and constructed the new Norfolk Archive Centre and refrigerated storage facilities for the East Anglian Film Archive . So in  a minor way, I've helped to keep many local histories and stories available for future generations.
