A lovely piece in the Observer about a series of paintings which have been created by Jen Orpin.

The paintings are memories of journeys made to visit the artist's father.

I like art which focusses on the everyday in this way, capturing it with a sense of reality - exploring scenes which we all see everyday but wouldn't necessarily see as scenic or picturesque and yet have a beauty about them...
