There is not much to report for Saturday, other than a rather pleasant hour spent viewing the Paul Kidby exhibition at the Worcester art gallery and museum.
The works of Terry Pratchett have given me great pleasure and entertainment over the years, and the cover illustrations by Josh Kirby and, latterly, Paul Kidby have always brought the characters to life.*
The Kidby exhibition took up two rooms of the gallery and included cover art, preparatory sketches and character paintings inspired by Pratchett's novels. Each work was accompanied by quotations and explanatory notes about their inspiration and development.
It was a great morning, and it seems that 30% was somewhat inspired by the pictures and quotations.
On the journey home she intimated that she might search out a Pratchett audio book!

* There will always be differences of opinion between reader and cover artist, but they are fantastic interpretations.
