“There’s always a rainbow at the end of every rain.”

All this #Edinburgh rain can't dampen the spirit of the Writers' Museum. Open daily 10am until 5pm.

I'm delighted to see my original painting and biography of Naomi Mitchison are now on display at the Writers' Museum in Edinburgh. Well worth a visit!

Yesterday we were delighted to launch our official 2024 events programme at Lauriston and we invited Cllr Val Walker along and she was greeted by our resident costumed volunteers. Thanks to Councillor Walker for entering into the spirit of things. We have a fantastic year ahead!

We simply could not pass on the musical theme on today's #OnlineArtExchange without sharing the hauntingly beautiful 'Spring Moonlight' by John Henry Lorimer from our friends Kirkcaldy Galleries. The interior of Kellie Castle is always exquisitely depicted by Lorimer.

The rain has seen off the last of the spring crocuses at the Scott Monument. Until next spring.....

This week's Art UK #OnlineArtExchange theme is #Music in art. We've chosen John Copley's 'Chamber Music' from MCR Art Gallery.
These musical and lyrical hands are a symphony in themselves. The perspective and juxtaposition of musicians is just wonderful.

Happy #WorldPartyDay from Ladybird Books at Museum of Childhood. #book lover #illustrations #book
