Westland Gallery

The Westland Gallery in Wortley Village, Old South London had an impressive exhibit of super realism by several local artists. The photographic quality of the paintings was really impressive. Stunning really.

We don't often visit private galleries like this one but are pleased we did today.

These aren't quick works of art dashed off in an afternoon. They are detailed works requiring long hours of dedicated work. They're priced accordingly. I wish I had the deeper pockets required to purchase some of these.

When Kate and I were first married we lived nearby -- the gallery at that time was an antique store (before that it had been a drug store).

Wortley Village, when we lived there, was a transitional neighborhood. It's since become quite desireable place to live.
