life, one pot at a time... Omega Workshops Pottery
‘So the Omega Workshops closed down. The shades of the Post-Impressionists have gone to join the other shades; no trace of them is now to be seen in Fitzroy Square. The giant ladies have been dismounted from the doorway and the rooms have other occupants. But some of the things he made still remain – a painted table; a witty chair; a dinner service; a bowl or two of that turquoise blue that the man from the British Museum so much admired.

Little known painters.... Mildred Bendall
As is so often the case, I happen to be in the right place at the right time. I bought this painting in 2009 from a French Auction house that I found quite by chance. I bought the picture without knowing anything of the artist - it is a show-stopper of a painting and probably the piece I would grab, above all others, if the house caught on fire!
Mildred Bendall approached painting as meditation, much in the spirit of making artistic progress rather than achieving fame or commercial success.
