Finally I have taken my opportunity to pay homage to Edward Burra and at the same time frustrate art historians and art sleuths, with my newly titled work ‘Bend in the river, Northumberland’. Edward Burras similarly titled ‘Valley and river, Northumberland’ has frustrated all of his admirers and no one knows its precise location. My only concession is to say if you stand in the precise place that I took the photo you will recognise the scene. Despite Xmas festivities I have managed to sneak away for a couple of hours without anyone noticing, that says a lot about me. New deadline to finish this January 7th, the following day I fly to Mexico for 3 months.
