Silver Holiday

The Bear and I are off together on holiday on monday for two weeks.
See you after that.

Please could you feed the fish while we're away? Just drag, sprinkle and tap along with your mouse or pen. Thanks.

Mary Elizabeth Lawson >

I tried, but failed to post a birthday tribute on here today for my mother, Mary, who would have been 96 years old and whom I miss so much.

Mother of four. Elegant, energetic, creative. An archaeologist, entrepreneur, sportswoman, hairstylist, philosopher, extraordinary cook, plantswoman, photographer, traveller. An inspiration.

The post also involved Emmeline Pankhurst, the original female rights campaigner, Jenny Murray from Radio 4 and the artist Charlotte Newson.

Never mind. I offer instead another collage, from the natural elements years, for your perusal and will now go and seek some solace in my quiet, messy studio, where I can at last escape from this bloomin' electronic device....

Proposal

May I propose that you nip to the World Wide spider Web and find out what you can about The Proposition?

This band climb the Norfolk mountains and beyond, as far as San Francisco, riding a dirt track through acoustic roots, unleashing their dirty folk-Americana, blues, old-time country, bluegrass rhythms onto whosoever they can find.

Be prepared for an adrenalin-rough ride along a dusty trail, gripped by their dark lyrics shaped to their cowboy-angel voices. Hear them drive their songs into town like a herd of frightened steers.

Great energy; big sound. And very easy on the eye.

Five and Twenty

At last, I hear you say, - some drawing - (and don't ask why...)

Two fairly quick graphite attempts from my wonderful tuesday life class.

Peeling paint passion

Everywhere, anywhere, any time. Amongst many beautiful things, I persistently pursue potential peeling paint possibilities, mainly from old doors and windows.
