Goooood evenin' all,

Where to start...

The exhibitions going really well.
A big thank you to all those who have managed to pop down and see it.
A Huuuuge thanks to whoever bought that big print [if you're reading this, I'd love if you got in touch].
And thanks for all the general support. Its much appreciated.

It runs until the 28th of June, so there's still plenty of time to get down and see it!

Afternoon readers,

Just to let you know my display at Titchfield Haven is now open.

Set up this morning, with no real problems.
Its all lookin' raaather good if I do say so myself.

So if you're in the area, feel free to head on down and have a look.

Now summertime's started, the Haven Tea Rooms are open 10am-5pm all week.
So why not pop in and have lunch or coffee sometime, and enjoy the views, and the local art on display.

My work will be up until the 28th of June, so plenty of time to get down there.

I'll get a picture of the display up soon for those who can't get down.

ttfn.
Matt.

The Common Daisy, Lawn Daisy or occasionally English daisy

For a couple of years now, I've been occasionally venturing out into the garden, or the green outside my house to wade through the grass on my quest find the prettiest, and most interesting daisies.
I've been frowned at, questioned, second guessed, and looked on with a general air of disgust.

But I don't get it? Why? Why do people hate daisies so much? Yeah, they grow through our neatly kept lawns, making it look untidy, but we don't mind when a crocus or snowdrop pops up.

When you was young, you made daisy chains, right? You ran around in summer picking them. They were fun back then. What changed that?
People love to get flowers, what sets daisies apart? huh?

I've made it my quest to save the face of the common daisy.
Yeah, it grows on its own, where it wants, normally in our lawn, popping up normally the day after we've mowed, but its what it does best!
Nobody takes the time to actually look at them. People buy ox eye daisies; Leucanthemum vulgare. They're just big common daisies.

My quest will take me into dangerous, unchartered teritories. The wilderness of the Lychgate Green. The dense forrest that is my back garden. And various other overly dramatised areas. All to take close up, personal portraits of these teeny weenie flowers that we seem to despise to much.

To check out what I've captured so far, check out the Project: Daisy gallery, here.

Keep checkin' back for more randomness.

ttfn.

Matt.
