I've visited a number of noteworthy exhibitions this year. Some that included my own artwork and some that didn't, some local and some further afield. I'm always fascinated by what art draws and resonates with different people. I am repeatedly surprised how often the pieces I love are not necessarily the ones that other people are enthusing about and win the prizes, and how disinterested I am with the ones that excite the crowds! Contemporary has my vote There is so much wealth of inspiration within an art exhibition from colour choices, subject matter, materials and techniques, size, texture and style. My favourites are always the more contemporary ones – give me a degree show over a 'museumy' art gallery any day! Those undiscovered and emerging over the old masters... am I allowed to say that?! Here are some of my favourites from 2018: Chaiya Art Awards Cambridge School of Art Masters Degree Show Cambridge Open Art Exhibition I wonder what new talent and inspiration 2019 will hold.

there are programs and plugins out there that do all the filtering for you so these don’t ever get on your site. I personally use Akismet, it is a free wordpress plugin and so far has only let 1 spam comment actually come through. The best way to handle spam comments is to put a positive spin on it and take them
