I saw Ian Cumberland's work in Belfast last year for the first time, and it really has to be seen to be believed.. Fantastic, huge and mesmerizing.

Though I resisted the temptation to touch the painting, much to my companions relief (a constant battle for me, I want to touch everything!) I'm so delighted for him to have been shortlisted. So well deserved.Julie Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12750152940761828189noreply@blogger.com
