Looking forward to seeing the new exhibitions for 2024 at Abbot Hall art gallery @lakelandarts.
It replaces Julie Brook's exhibition that I reviewed for the December issue of @theFourdrinier

@ErlandCooper @alex_kozobolis I loved reading this piece @ErlandCooper
Saw you perform in September - it was a wonderful evening at Left Bank, Leeds.
Inspirational
: )
I'm a writer for @theFourdrinier would you be up for collaborating on an experimental piece with me? Can incorporate sound, visuals.

thinking of great examples of art in the public realm for @bradford2025, and how loved it can become to it's communities, given the right commission for the context @NedLunn @Miriamaok

🤩 Wowzer!! #NorthernLights visit @IronMenCrosby #Liverpool last night - stunning photo by Dominic Darvell | @seftoncouncil #aurora

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

Look at all that purple @NedLunn
what would William Morris say to that?

The Church of Morning - version 2

- the tree outside my window.

I took the panels of sky bounded by branches and changed the colour of each

This is a more stylised version of the image I posted yesterday

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

omitted from the spoken word hit 'everybody's free (to wear sunscreen) / the sunscreen song (class of '99)' by @bazluhrmann, I believe.

Now there's a surprise @commanderwhitby ... or do I take this as a weather beaten command, lingering in sunny Scunthorpe from circa 1980?

Some straight to the point advice in Scunthorpe

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.

Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

Thank you @NedLunn.
I'm so grateful to you for hosting my visit to @Bfdcathedral yesterday afternoon. It's going to have an ambitious arts programme going forward - I loved hearing about your plans & ideas for the city of culture year, presenting a fusion of faiths and culture.

[Ned Lunn @NedLunn]

There’s no day off this week for several reasons but still want to pause briefly and remind myself to be thankful. This week I’m grateful for: @CecilGreenArts @Indie_Charu @LloydTranquil @malicarr @MiriamOkeeffe @RevTankard @RuthDowson @toby_howarth and, of course, @Bfdcathedral

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

It's a stunning exhibition in two beautifully appropriate spaces. I visited yesterday, blessed by the winter sun (as seen in the photo posted below ⬇️)

[Alison Watt @alisonjfwatt]

If in London, my show A Kind of Longing, is now open at 6 Fitzroy Square at Tristan Hoare with ⁦@parafinlondon⁩ until 10 March

AT LONG LAST!☺️🌼
The flowers are coming!

now is the winter of our content

@NedLunn @JohnMcArts Sorry, it's more likely Coniston than Windermere. By the time I've reached Ruskin's House by car I'm confused about many lake shores I've skirted to get there

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

@NedLunn @JohnMcArts Never mind #Ruskin, with his posh house overlooking #Windermere. What would he have known about city dwelling and the need for majestic industrial and trade buildings that lift the heart that bit closer to #heaven ?
Pious my bottom.

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

@AndyBowerman @Bfdcathedral @NedLunn yes, I'd love Dean @AndyBowerman
thank you for this introduction to @NedLunn
Coincidentally I've been engaging with a tweet of his about Ruskin this morning. Turns out twitter is a small place!

[Charu Vallabhbhai ... 💭 ... 🦋 🍁 🎈 @Indie_Charu]

As you mention sketching @JohnMcArts, here's one I did yesterday ⬇️
Please read my tweet explaining that it's to help a couple of #homeless lads sleeping rough in #Leeds
all retweets welcome☺️

I always get strong Etch A Sketch vibes from the #bbclaurak backdrop
