Muriel Minter (1897-1983) was an intriguing and comparatively unheralded contemporary of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore at the Royal College of Art. Though more in the manner of Giorgione than Moore, Minter took an interest in the reclining figure in this rare etching from 1929

Two more pups at Winterton dunes.

One pup was keen to finish shedding the remnants of its white fur coat but gave up.

It was wonderful to see the grey seal colony on the beach and dunes at Winterton this afternoon.

Thanks to @nationaltrust.bsky.social for great light art, a festive atmosphere and excellent customer service at Blickling Estate last night.

JMW Turner and changing visions of landscape at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, centred around the acquisition of Turner's Walton Bridges, is not to be missed. There's much to enjoy, including many Turner loans from private collections, Claude, Canaletto and this jewel-like Claughton Pellew.

I'm reminded of also catching the wonderful Henry Moore Studios just as they were about to close up for the winter.

A lovely walk along the Yare to UEA Broad and Sculpture Park, coming across Caro, Moore, Frink, Edwards, Ivan Morison's installation and a heron (small h).

My daughter, Bee, is crowdfunding for her grad film at Arts University Bournemouth. Do take a moment to have a look and support if you would like to:

at Tate Britain may be an uneven exhibition but its canvas is huge, even without going into the inter-war period, which would have strengthened the 20th century sections. However, there were a number of painters I hadn't caught up with, and there's clearly much work still to be done.

Coming across a cool coffee shop in a grain silo and a well preserved Romanesque doorway is what I call a good afternoon's cycle ride.
