St. Ives
Something which I feel is,  "Art"




On my second trip to St. Ives, I found a rabbit figure(above).
"Wow"
Makiko, my friend, shouted and I liked the figure very much. At that time, she was living in London study English. Therefore, I said to her light heartedly, "Why don't you buy it?", but she answered, "No kidding! It looks very heavy. I can't carry it even to London!" Actually, I thought so too. The size seemed as large as baby and moreover, it was made of stone. If she wanted to bring it to Japan, it would be even more trouble.
So in the end, I just took a picture of it.
There were two plant pots one in the shape of a watering can the other in the shape of a shoe.
Don't you think that they are lovely?
When I walked around the town of St. Ives, I often bumped into such interesting things.


When we left the tourist information centre in St. Ives, we found an art gallery.
"Why don't we drop in?" It was a really small gallery which displayed some paintings in a small space of the first floor.
"I'm sure that the receptionist is gay!", Makiko said.
"Really? How do you know that?"
"I know it just looking at him."
We were interested in and talked about another topic which had no relation to the paintings on display. However, I liked the paintings which were displayed there. Every Painting was rough, and was painted with a strong bold brush.
By the way, the picture on the right is quite strange, isn't it?
