Quentin Blake‎ exhibition

Lovely to see the Quentin Blake‎ exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge last weekend. The museum is completely incredible and literally stuffed to the gills with art. Too much for us to take in but we’ll definitely be back.

We were both really looking forward to the exhibition but it was a little sad to only see one room of his work and also mainly work from the last five years. It would have been great to see some of his Roald Dahl work. I always remember his illustrations from those books, in particular George’s Marvellous Medicine which was read repeatedly to me by my father. My favourite line in the book being:

Grandma had a face like a puckered up dog’s bottom.

But still great to see his wonderful work and even his paint palette.
