New paintings and regular art updates.
A few weeks ago I was happier,
painting splodges for a college project,
letting colour flow
and wrap itself into my mind
warping patterns
playing with inking rollers
freedom.
Then I was sick
nothing serious,
not covid
not anything really
just pain
continuing.
I have an appointment tomorrow
to check my pain
sort it out
Make it go away…
please.
then I shall sleep,
not wake hourly
gripped by a twisted cramp.
please.
Sunlight, star shine
December blue
New month
End of year
Finding warmth
Snuggling beneath blankets
Cats curl their tails
Round your hand
Decorations in windows
And hanging down
Like icicles.
Season to be merry
Or sad….
Mid winter arrived
Before you knew it
And passed slowly
Into a foggy grey
New year
An oily sheen of light flowing out from an almost full moon. Twisted and turned leaves in the orange street lights. Like fire burning up, burning the leaves. Spiralling flickers like sparks from a bonfire. Ice and fire, light and burning embers. Do you reach down and touch the world? Sputtering and guttering your cold glow submerges the heat. Ice spikes fall and pierce the ground. Describe to me what you see. Says the moon….
Symmetry genus
Mirrored leaves?
Species unknown
Alien seed?
Jumbled foliage
Seeing faces.
Hidden pattern
Pareilodia blues…
Little fox.
1 inch tall
Roaming through garden clutter
Grasshoppers chase him
Raindrops batter him,
Boots almost squash him
He had to hide,
Find a den
Then
Find berries to eat.
Chased by mice
Threatened by blackbirds
Scampering away
Where can he stay
Little fox
Today…
Tangled, mangled
Twigs and branches.
Symmetric faces?
Web of wood.
Blue sky
Cold and high
Hidden moon
Setting soon.
Trapped in fingers
Of Ash hands
Clawing the firmament
Heaven sent.
Cats have eaten
Ones gone out
He likes outside
Too much
The others curl
In warmth
By radiators
Or next to heaters
Feeling the warmth
Bedtime
Check the doors
Lock the windows
Turn out the lights
Sleep under these eaves
Rest and refresh
Goodnight all.
Tranquil water
Peat stained stream
Full of life
Nature’s dream.
Tiny fish
That hide in pools
How I miss
Ice cream, cool
Dappled sunlight
Dusty paths
Sometimes too bright,
Sunlights flash!
Over stepping stones…
Feet to splash
Memories recalled
Of times fast dash.
Paws up under the thow
Head out, mirowing!
Climbs up,
Head thrown back!
Claws tear the chair arm
Jump
And
Pounce
Twist
And
Jump!
Sister runs past
Cat slalom off
Into the distance…..
Zooming around and singing
Looking from face to face
Video calls are booming
Talking around all night
Ladies and gents
Are choiring
Baritone, alto and bass
Having fun with music
Playing a lively tune.
Descants and sopranos
Fun around half past eight.
