David Wynne (b. 1926) was born in London, and seems to have had no formal art training. His figurative sculpture concentrates on movement, and includes most notably Girl With Doves (1970), The Dancers (1971) and Dancer with Bird (1975), all in Cadogen Square Gardens. Other works in London are Girl with a Dolphin and Boy with a Dolphin, the latter being at the Chelsea School of Art.

Royal Hospital Army Museum
Royal Hospital Road,
Chelsea SW3
----------------------------
There are actually two separate museums - the one seen here is within the precincts of the Royal Chelsea Hospital itself , it is quite small and is limited to only three rooms, on of which displaying only medals and badges. It also reflects the history of the Hospital founded by Charles II and whose patron is HM the Queen.
Not to be confused to the other museum is called the "National Army Museum", which is separate from the perimeter but adjacent to the Royal Hospital. This is situated in a modern extensive building and covers the military history from the earliest times to the present.
This sunny autumn path leads on to Hampstead heath just a ten minute walk from my place last year in november this path was covered in snow that was an early winter. A country of four seasons each one has its own character I have no favourites but I must admit autumn has the edge on colour.
The Royal Photographic Society is involved in a project named 'Bleeding London'. Between March and October 2014 photographers will take a shot of each of the 70,000 streets contained in the 'London A to Z'. Most of these shots were taken on a photo shoot around the Chelsea area and my walk back to Putney.
