I have a love of photography and I’m always on the look out for interesting exhibitions wherever we end up on business trips or holidays. Last week we went to the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie in Paris to see a small exhibition called “On the Road” which made me discover different artists with really different views and skills.

Whilst I was there however, I actually rediscovered Elliott Erwitts work in his “Personal Best” exhibition. Elliott Erwitt is a mischievous observer of daily life and his favourite subjects are children, dogs, beaches, politics and celebrities. He is a subtle humourist and poet and his work reflects satire mixed with melancholia. His work is really charming and his eye for detail is absolutely incredible. Do you agree? X

Not all of us can afford to hang a Picasso or Turner on the living room wall, but it doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the joy admiring a piece of fine art brings. But have you ever wondered what happens those paintings or sculptures that aren’t worthy of the National Portrait Gallery or the Louvre..?
The Museum of Bad Art is an Elephants Graveyard of neglected masterpieces by visionary and under appreciated Artistes, spanning movements such as cubism, renaissance and most definitely surrealism.
Our particular favourite at Milk and Honey, is Dog.


A remarkable fusion of ski resort and wolf puppy — stoical in his yellow-eyed silence, frozen beneath the ice-capped peak, Dog eloquently challenges the viewer to reexamine old concepts of landscape. “

Simply breathtaking.
