Air

Posted on Posted in Fine Art, Memories, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Blurry photo of my painting Air, part of four images including Earth, Water and Fire. I imagined the spirit of Air, rather like the faces of cherubs with puffed out cheeks blowing storms across ancient mariners maps the yellow and orange at the top is the sun being hidden behind clouds. I like the cheeky and mischievous face that stares out of the painting. It’s probably a little anachronistic, almost Victorian in style, but it’s a semi abstract acrylic on canvas. I just wish I’d taken a better photo. It is for sale.

A friend now has this painting of Koi carp swimming at a pool in a garden centre I did a few years ago. Perhaps I will have to do more wobbly paintings now I have Parkinsons disease. I hate the thought I might not be able to paint. Someone asked me today what I was going to do if I don’t paint. I don’t know. It’s always been part of me. I know my manual dexterity is deminishing. I hope something can be done about it. At the moment I’m mentally staring at the ocean not sure if I can dip my toes in anymore?

Koish

Koi carp I pay a few years ago, it was part of my recent exhibition. I thought it was worth showing on its own here. I love painting reflections and the way some parts of the painting can be seen through so you can see the fish. Other things include the distortion of the window bars in the water. Acrylic on canvas.

A painting from a few years ago, a bit burry with camera shake. It’s one of four I did to represent Earth, Air, Fire and Water. It was a series I really enjoyed. Working with the flow of paint, allowing my imagination free rein. It’s acrylic on canvas. Two of the set had already been sold and I was thinking of painting replacement images. I wish I had, I’m not sure I ever will. X

Swanning about

Posted on Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

The silver blue water of Westport Lake in Stoke on Trent today. This Swan was one of many that were searching for food. It had cygnets in tow, almost free of the pale brown plumage. The swans got out of the lake later as visitors were feeding them bread (not an ideal diet) but in this weather they need sustenance. They even tried a swift peck at my friends arm!

We only walked a couple of miles but that was enough for today. I was chilled by a cold breeze and glad to get back to the car. I will do more walks.

Low pressure

Storm “Henk”, passed over us yesterday. The fifth named storm of the current season I think? Rivers in the South and West have flooded including the Severn at Shrewsbury, a river at Tenby in South West Wales, the river at Worcester and many other places. I think they said there were about 150 flood alerts this time including one in South Wales so severe that there was a danger to life.

Rain and strong winds had made it so dark outside that there were leaden skies for most of the day, and night came early as the sunlight was blocked by the piled up blackened clouds.

We had the new forecast last night. The low is drifting away and high pressure and colder drier weather is on its way. Thank goodness for that. But the weather is getting wilder. Is this a sign of global warming?
