I spent a FANTASTIC weekend in London and it started, honestly, with more than a few drinks at a friends local Pub... was a lot of fun. The next morning, I refused to let those few drinks get me down and I was off to the Tate Britain... I could NOT let you or myself down by wasting my time in the big city! 


The range of amazing masterpieces at the Tate Britain is vast with an incredibly vast and amazing compelation of masterpieces. Here are a few of my particular favorites: 




First, "Head of a Man" by Nigel Henderson. I am fascinated by portrait painting and the National Portrait Gallery in London is one of my favorite places but this contemporary portrait really drew me in...

I couldn't say much about this sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi except "whow"... I don't think I need to tell you why I was drawn to this piece... it exuded such an incredible energy... it's (he's) beautiful!!

I've always been interested in photography but traveling (especially to a place so photogenic) really brings that interest back to me... these iconic photographs by David Bailey would make every amateur photographer marvel....

"Inverse Reverse Perverse" by Cerith Wyn Evans turns you, the viewer, into the subject... I loved it... hah, that sounded narcissistic but there isn't a lot of work out there that turns you into the art piece and it changes with every movement, it was unusual and fun to interact with.

And the building wasn't anything to turn your nose up to either!! The walls could be bare and I would have still found this visit captivating!
