New paintings and regular art updates.
Look at you with your golden eyes
Staring at me, whiskers engaged,
Ready to pounce, or yawn, or sneeze
You just do what you please.
Golden eyes, not green or yellow
But gloriously strong in colour
You know what you want
As you stare at me
Food and cuddles
Clearly!
Photo of a drinking glass, it has a ridged blue surface spiralling round the outside. I took this photo looking through it at the TV screen in a darkened room. The curves on the right hand side are my fingers and fingernails. There are pieces of ice at the bottom of the glass. I might put it through apps to see how it comes out.
There’s a peeling paint appreciation society on Facebook. I’m always on the lookout for images to share and saw this today. The lock/switch looks pristine but the paint on the pipe next to it is flaking away. You can tell the order in which it was painted. I thought it made an interesting photo.
A cage of bars? No tree branches quadruple. Outside our local church yesterday. The overhanging branches curves was an ideal subject to use for this image. I think it looks surreal. It’s amazing what you can do with a phone.
Looking through a window in a door at Spode out of the studio window. The layers of lines and squares superimposed on top of each other made it interesting. The wood frames each section neatly.
What you can’t see is the bright sunlight catching the building in the background. I could see it, but here it’s over exposed and looks almost white,merging into the line of sky above it. Eyes are so important, cameras are wonderful, but seeing in reality is a better experience sometimes.
The sitting bench became a potting bench. Now it’s become a rotting bench! Moss covered and with holes. It was never varnished and the rain over a few years just got to it. One day I will try and replace it with something more solid. Sad demise of an old friend. Hubby used to sit and read the paper on it.

Have you seen the little camera sign on your phone? I’ve only just found out about it. It’s on the top right of the Google search bar. I guess there are similar tools on other search engines and I am not advocating you use any of them. It is good to use something to identify things like plants. I saw this growing out of a wall today and I wanted to know what it was as I have different ferns growing out of my yard wall. I’m glad to extend my knowledge.
Looking out over a supermarket car park.
The sky had clouded over, but there was a glow from the setting sun behind the grey clouds. It just shows that a minimal landscape can be enhanced by light and colour. There is blue and grey, orange and yellow, purples and blacks all intermingling and changing by the minute.
For once it wasn’t raining, it wasn’t cold, and it wasn’t windy. You could stand and watch the atmosphere evolve as the sun set. It’s not a very exciting sunset, but I enjoyed it.
Comfy, with lots of leg room. The cat has found a soft spot. A good, cat king size sofa!
Snuggled up on crochet blankets, there would be space for five or six cats at least, but he’s king of the castle, top of the tree, so relaxed. I wish I could be so settled. I’m jealous of his comfort, but I’ll let him be. X
I wasn’t driving last night so I had a small gin and lots of tonic. But when the drink came it had a sprig of rosemary in it along with the ice. It was delicious, tasty, refreshing. I had the glass topped up with more tonic water. It was very delicious.
I liked the look of the crystal cut glass so took a photo of it. I don’t take many photos of food and drink but I just liked the image. I might play around with it in photodirector.
