Was up at Falkirk 's Callendar House this week to drop off work for their Winter Warmth Exhibition but happened to catch the end of the amazing Alan Davie exhibition. It's just a pity that Falkirk Council in their wisdom has closed The Park Gallery venue after curatorial staff had made all their arrangements had been made for the volume of work to be received. Then it had to be crammed into a space in Callendar House. Blamed on cut backs, the space still manged to attract 10,000 (yes 10,000) visitors in a few weeks to see the work of Scotlands best living artist. The gallery staff at Falkirk were amazing - an Argentinian lady Karina was one of the most informed, engaging and knowledgeable curators I have ever met in a gallery. I hope that Falkirk doesn't decide on further cuts. 10,000 people can't be wrong. Well done Park Gallery. see more of his work at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Davie
