Oh how I love markets! Particularly craft markets. However this weekend I was up in Glasgow and decided to venture back to a market that I had previously been thoroughly creeped out at. Now when I say this market sells everything, I mean it sells EVERYTHING. Saddles for horses were right next to a life size darlek which was right next to an old radio which was right next to various hoses.
So I was sooo happy when I spotted this reproduced oil painting by Degas. I recognised it immediately (Yeah I like art a wee bit), and had to buy it... and what a bargin at a tenner! I was rather proud of myself! I had to take some photos to keep me company for a while as the painting is still in Glasgow and I am back in London.....
I'll just add that I decided to wear a Modcloth dress with a Modcloth scarf combined with boots and a small cardigan.... I was also wearing ridiculously thick socks, and still my feet froze...through three layers! As the dress was way too big, I took a scarf which was of the same colour pallet and tied it around my waist and adorned it with some overlarge flowers :-). The photos were taken by Matthew Robinson!
thanks so much for the comment! and wow I'm so jelous :P I love Degas so much and that is one of my favourite paintings! Great bargain :D xx

Why thank you! Yup, £10, I almost felt like I was robbing them. I saw it at the market from a far distance and ran over shouting that's a Degas, that's a Degas.... I just looked stupid...
