Landscape Artist of the Year

Deedaa

Did anyone watch Landscape Artist Of The Year tonight and see the 91 year old lady who was painting? Made me feel that I'm not really trying and might have years of work left.

She was amazing. It was so hot it got too much for her but she resumed as soon as she could. I liked her painting and hoped she would at least be chosen as one of the three. I knew she wouldn’t be selected as the recognition is usually given to the young and aspiring. Some odd selections are made and there are usually cries of disbelief from dh. but I enjoy it. I love Tai-Shan Schieranberg. He is a great painter.

My TV magazine doesn't tell me which are repeats so I set them all to record, sometimes 3 in the same day on Sky arts. There are old 2014 and 2017 series of Landscape and Portrait running as well as the 2023 one. The Ascot picnic episode still seems to appear at least once a week!

I often don't agree with the judges' choices, but what do I know apart, from what pleases me? I also find myself repeating 'Tai-Shan Schierenberg' over and over to myself, as I love the sound of it (Hurtigruten too!).

It’s repeated on Sunday at 12. I should be awake then!

There was a fabulous artist on this week, she painted a beautiful landscape capturing the scene. Did she win? No, not even in the final three.

Fell asleep again and then missed tonight’s repeat! I’ll catch it on Sunday hopefully. I read an article in the Tines that said they felt the judges should change as the people commissioning the painting pay a lot of money and the judges keep choosing rather strange winners.

I fell asleep again! I’ve started falling asleep on the sofa every evening!

Thank you!

Episode 3 of the new series is repeated tomorrow, Sunday 29 January midday.
