I can’t say that the past week has been particularly productive in terms of art. I’ve started a new drawing and will keep at it until I’m happy with it, but most of my attention this past week has been focussed on preparing for Thanksgiving (not a big thing here in the UK, but we keep up the American holidays as well as the British ones, so there you go). I notice from cruising the art web sites that there are some events and exhibitions out there, and some good programmes on the various catch up TV channels. We just watched a rather interesting program on Vincent Van Gogh’s fascination with Japan and how Japanese art and techniques influenced his own art. Actually, you can access two different programmes on this subject. Here: https://www.seventh-art.com/shop/van_gogh_and_japan/ Which you can view on the web and Here: https://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week46/great-art If you can access ITV Hub. Both are quite enlightening and entertaining.
There is also a good look at the available exhibitions and events in London, most of which have been modified to comply with all of the government COVID restrictions, which make it difficult, but not impossible to get out and about to enjoy art even now. https://secretldn.com/art-exhibitions-london/
In addition to the above, the Guild of Aviation Artists is planning a Virtual Exhibition that opens Monday 7 December at 11 am for sales – closes 23 December. It will be hosted on Artsteps.com. Stay tuned for more details.
Speaking of the Guild of Aviation Artists, here are some more links to members’ web sites:

Once again, if you want to look at some fine examples of aviation and other art, you can’t go wrong looking up these folks.
