Kelvingrove is a very inspiring place.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely nostalgia comment, Joanna - love your story about the picture! Maybe it will inspire a short story? My favourite print (not a Mucha) when a teenager was a gorgeous white horse drinking from a pool at the bottom of a waterfall. Don't know what happened to it but I adored it.Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-83297097628275105372017-01-18T00:46:32.922-08:002017-01-18T00:46:32.922-08:00What a wonderful exhibition, Rosemary.

I love Mucha and when I went to university, I blue-tacked one of the posters, bought from a dark, musk-scented shop called 'But is it Art?', on the wall above my bed. It was one of the flower girls, but I don't recall which. It was so long and heavy that it regularly flopped off the wall and fell on my head during the night, but I always put it back up again the next morning and it's the first thing I remember when I look back at those long-ago days. xxxJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-64765747012518820512017-01-16T03:34:32.187-08:002017-01-16T03:34:32.187-08:00Ashamed to admit I'd never heard of Mucha, Ros...Ashamed to admit I'd never heard of Mucha, Rosemary but I definitely recognise his style.
