It was a pleasure to take my mother to a wonderful art exhibition in Prague today which presented 80 works of modern art spanning the beautiful tranquility of Claude Monet to the crazy flambouyance of Andy Warhol. It was my dear mother who first introduced me to the joys of roaming art galleries. I remember her taking my sister, Beverley and me to various exhibitions in London as a child.
I always think it is a good idea to try a pick out one piece of work from an exhibition which I particularly liked. On this ocassion, it was Monet's famous and tranquil Water Lillies which gave me a real thrill to see "in the flesh".
Now that my mother walks so slowly, a gentle meander around a beautiful art gallery in Prague couldn't be better. She really enjoyed herself, and I know how happy she is to spend time with me.
I then took her for a lovely lunch in a Japanese restaurant. So we had a really good day of diverse culture.
