A few weeks ago we went with another homeschooling family to visit the local art gallery. What piqued the other mum's and my interest was an exhibit of photos taken by artist Janet Tavener in and around Iceland's ice caves.
While these were certainly beautiful and interesting, we were unexpectedly taken by a series of hand painted linocuts that told the story of a puffin family, with a message about ocean pollution and global warming. The artist, Rew Hanks, has made a book to go with the exhibition called "The Big Catch", but it seemed to be a one off; though we did put our names down on an "expressions of interest" list - so maybe it will be printed in the future. I didn't want to take photos of every linocut, but this links to a gallery's website where you can see them all.
The gallery has a beautiful Japanese garden attached to it which is always calming to walk around (even when you are feeding the apparently starving monstrous carp).
