New paintings and regular art updates.

Trying to make my cold drink cool?
Playing with position, am I a fool…
Place the camera low and see
What’s in the background
Line up the straw
Straight with the door
Blue white view
And green too
Outside the heat
Inside I’m seat-ed
In a cool suite
With a cold, chocolate, sweet
Drinking icy views in.

I was looking outside tonight as I’d got the door open to cool down. I thought the sky looked a bit strange so I set my phone camera to ‘night’ which stacks a series of images over 60 seconds. I saw the photo had a slight green tinge so I took another shot, this time it was normal blue. There is a chance of auroras again because there has been corona activity on the sun.
Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, I shake too much so I get bad camera shake!

Cat jelly mould, dinosaur night lite. The dinosaur dropped on the floor and split. Unfortunately it had to go because I couldn’t glue it back together.
I’ve used the jelly mould to make a few jellies, but it was hard to use because it doesn’t like to stay upside down without propping up. It hangs on the side of the fridge now.
I just think it made an interesting photo. And although they are strange bedfellows they are both plastic and animal shaped. So I guess they go together.

Clouds about 9pm 17.7.24 in Stoke on Trent, England.
Sun was starting to set and the light made the clouds sparkle. I don’t know what type of clouds they are, but I liked the view.

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.
