A LINK, A HELPING HAND.......

http://perfectly4med.co.uk This is the blog of a mature student at Leicester College where he displays some of his works from his course and, I suspect, artworks from non-college theatres. Having ended one major career he is now embarking on a second, creative career. He is very talented and I wish him luck. Why not go to his blog right now!! My cousin Val has arrived back in UK from her home in France today. She and her husband Ken travelled in their car so that they can visit some people while they are here over the Yuletide period. I do hope I get to see her. It would mean a lot. I used to stay at her and Kens home when I was young and it was while I was there that I probably read all of the Famous Five books ! Well, nothing much else to remark on, but do go see Neil's work on his blogsite, and remember to love all and hurt none. Be positive in thought and deed, but walk in soft shoes.

UPDATES ON A RAINY DECEMBER DAY

So, the top picture of how my little studio space currently looks. We now have central heating in the studios, fed by gas bottles .......... bet that wont be cheap !? The next two pictures are of my most recent paintings; BOA'S and BOOZE, and VENUS FLY TRAP. The latter was completed in just a couple of hours. I really got into the groove Ive been trying to find for some time now. Keeping it loose, mixing the colours on the canvas, basically getting back to what I touched on many years ago, but now with more knowledge, insight, and a vast supply of imagery just waiting to be captured on canvas. Its almost Christmas, the prezzies are wrapped, the days are dark but I keep the light in my mind at full luminescence, just in case the "black dog" tries to make an appearance, hahaha. So my mateys, think and live positively but walk in soft shoes.
