David Starley is working in Lister Park today. He has painted a view of the 1904 Bradford Exhibition and is now painting the 2025 view over the top.

Just processing data from this year's work in Croatia is bringing back lots of happy memories - and reminding me the UK is really cold and wet today ! - still looking forward to next year's work in the Adriatic, it's going to be exciting πŸ˜ƒ
