A poor photo of a gorgeous painting. You can see the tea tray in front of me.

Having a cuppa with @ianrankin1.bsky.social Angled to protect the ladies to my right. I’d forgotten how soft the light is in this painting. A luminous and warm tea companion.

View of construction work going on through a leaded window frame. There is a bright red mini digger amongst the rubble.

Mini digger giving insect vibes. Galleries in town centres are havens of calm. Even with this outside the stairwell.

Had a great visit to the King James exhibition at #scottishnationalportraitgallery today. Ludovik Stuart, Duke of Lennox below. Not the best looking bloke there, but an interesting figure. #Scottish17thC #nationalgalleriesscotland #edinburghisallrightreally

A powerful and thought-provoking exhibition by Everlyn Nicodemus this afternoon at Modern One, NGS. #ngs #nationalgalleriesscotland

"The winner of the Cultural Project award is the revamped Scottish Galleries at the National". The judges concluded that NGS's highly ambitious project was an 'amazing achievement' and 'felt very appropriate for its civic status'. Well done team! #artgallery #architecture #nationalgalleriesscotland

This speaks to me. Not sure why. #NationalGalleriesScotland
