Guess who is coming for breakfast?

This pheasant is a regular at the breakfast table. Let’s hope he doesn’t end up on someone’s dinner table. So far he has escaped the local shoot.
Just back from seeing the documentary on Wilhelmina Barns- Graham, A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things, a Scottish artist consigned in art history as a minor figure, an  “also ran” .
 
This film is an attempt to restore her as a major figure in early 20th century modern art. 
 
Did it succeed? Not quite.  While it’s a beautifully  shot poetic film I  do wonder what the audience made of it because there were few biographical details.
 During the Q&A session the audience were asked how many people were already familiar with her work. Less than a dozen of us put our hands up. And the cinema had a full house.
