ANOTHER day off. So lovely. So sunny! Today: two exhibitions; The Vorticists at Tate Britain then stroll along the river, and Glamour of the Gods, Hollywood Portraits at The National Portrait Gallery, and then the park sunbathing - i have my priorities - after Pulp were unbelieeeevable last night.

Update: I also sneaked in to look at the BP National Portrait of the year 2011 exhibition while i was at the NPG - The Glamour of the Gods show begins on the 7th July as it happens, and looks every bit worth seeing then - and It was very interesting to me, portraiture is not my favourite art form i have to say, but it surprised me. It surpassed any expectations i had.The winner's portrait is exceptional up close and personal. The atmosphere and detail is quite astonishing.

It is free admission into the exhibition, so i would recommend seeing it while it is still on public display.
