Before I left Arteles.
I had tried some nighttime photography (thanks Sam)

we had had our live review…
with interesting presentations from everyone involved…
we had also had our last party together… with a tartan pizza and a crown for mary elizabeth
The view from the window of the studio had changed to its autumnal glory
and we had all signed the infamous Arteles wall
I left the residency before the others as I had decided to take the unmissable opportunity to visit St Petersburg on the visa-free cruise…



and of course the wonderful Hermitage
ceilings and floors




Then returning to Helsinki for the flight home
a totally wonderful trip…and now to digest it all and make some art?
