New paintings and regular art updates.
I wrote about going to see Warhorse last week, but I did a drawing because we were not allowed to take photos.
Then I found these photos on line. I think they are publicity shots which are allowed to be shared. If they suddenly disappear you will know why.
They just show the beauty and also horror of the play. Such strong sculptural images.

I got up early
after going late to bed
The sun was below the horizon
The sky was deep red.
Got to take a picture
Run downstairs
Get a few shots of it
Then go back to rest
Will the old rhyme come true?
Red sky in the morning
Shepherds warning ?
No sign of rain,
No sign of snow.
A little breeze
But no freeze..
Sunset has come
No reddened sun
So we will see
What is to be.
I took lots of photos of these trees at a garden centre in Wales. Small and perfectly formed, their colours seem to glow against the dull grey sky. A shaft of sunlight makes the colours explode. Glorious and wonderful.
A lot of the leaves are palmate, meaning hand shaped. The leaves are strongly divided into thinner and thinner strips of crimson red or deep yellow at this time of year. We have an acer in our garden but it always seems to have a white sheen to it. I think it is in the wrong place next to a bigger tree which is robbing it of moisture. I sometimes water it to try and help. It changes to a very dark deep red in autumn and its leaves are less indented, more maple like. With the sun shining through them this morning they look bronze or copper coloured.
Pounce, purr, play, prowl,
Hide, hunt, hop, howl,
Bright, black, brown, bowl,
Occult, ocular original owl.
Nose, naughty, named Noel,
Sweet, silly, soft soul.
Chilled, cheeky, cat, cruel,
Leap, lithe, light, lol,
Food, fine, feathered, fowl.
Sharp, sleek, strong, seal,
jump, jink, joy, jowl.
Can’t think of any more rhymes for prowl…. I used owl because I was thinking of their exceptional eyesight
