RIP David Hockney 🌸
"The celebrated British artist, one of the most important figures in contemporary art in both the 20th and 21st centuries, passed away peacefully at home, one month short of his 89th birthday."
🎨 Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figurines), 1972.
Today is the feast day of St Dogmael (Dogfael), the 6th-century holy figure whose name lives on in the Pembrokeshire village of St Dogmaels.
Outside St Dogmaels Abbey stands John Clarke’s wooden statue of the saint, carved in 2002 to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

Great to catch up with artist extraordinaire Neale Howells today at the opening of The Art of Textiles at Queen Street Gallery, Neath.
I was naturally drawn to the more folkloric/ autumnal works on display - welsh witches, fairies & these wonderful sheep.
Runs until 27 June. 🍂
