It maybe goodbye to this forever. Going to be looked at by some big eyes, 🤞exciting.

Yes.
Tv end of the living room. Cat leg, bum and tail where it shouldn’t be.

You all missed this by lounging in your beds. Dawn today at the Norfolk coast.
Bank of dappled cloud l, all the pinks in a strip of light, sea of ink, black silhouetted rocks and beacon. I mean, you can’t get the sense of wonder unless you’re there, so get up earlier and go and see next time. Not sure who painted this but they really know their colour wheel. Striped sky with ship. Clouds masquerading as a mountain range in Nepal, when really they are heading to Gt Yarmouth, like this ship.

Dawn.
Our house, obscured by trees, a viburnum in pastel autumnal garb, dawn just breaking.

Shall I strap him in the car and take him out?
Wolfie has made a bed in our angel’s car seat. Think he’d like to go to pets at home?

A new work, title pinched from a @bylinetimes.bsky.social article a couple of days ago. 🧵

The World After Tomorrow

Sold this ivy leaden bonce, painted a few years ago.
The Thinking Tree, oil on wood, 2021. Painting of a bare tree, swamped with ivy which looks like the profile of a head. True story, it lives nearby.

The much beloved yacht pond.

Morning. The sunrise was so spectacular, but stupid iPhone decided to drown it kicking and screaming, in vibrant orange and cerise, and ruin all its subtleties. This was the best shot I got.
Sea of ink, sky in strips of gold and a swish of dark clouds. Beacon and a ship draw the eye.

Bits and bobs of my home town, so familiar I sometimes forget to take them in.

Today's conundrum. Yes, that is where I've wiped my brush on the wall instead of bending down and picking up the cloth.
In progress painting of a wave with two skeletons within, holding hands. The surrounding wall is streaked with paint.

Me, on Gorleston beach 1971.
Chubby little toddler contemplating a stone, feet sinking in the wet sand. Nothing much has changed except I’m a bit bigger.

This crappy website is pretending to sell my work, but they are fake and in breach of copyright. I'm on their tail, don't worry about that.

If you'd like to buy some of my work, go to Rise Art, Contemporary & Country, Chapel Galleries or my website.
If you'd like a print of any of my work, just ask
Page of my copied paintings, pretending to sell my work but are probably printing them out without my permission. Fake, lying and illegal.

A pivotal painting for me, shown in 2021 at Norwich Castle, which is now off on a journey. More about that later.

Titled Idai, I painted it from a photo I took of my tv screen when the aftermath of cyclone Idai, in 2019, was being reported.
