visual artist : contemplating time, memory, and transformation.
Saturday's RTDP prompt is trouble and the first thing that comes to mind is Rex , my Rag-doll/Burmese cross, feline friend.

The Henry Moore Sculpture Park at Perry Green is just a short drive from where I live and is the most amazing setting for Moore's Sculptures. The gallery has great exhibitions and a year or so ago I got to meet Tacita Dean who was presenting her video responding to an aspect of Moore's inspiration …

My yearly pilgrimage to St Ives or twice if possible, always includes a visit to Barbara Hepworth and the garden. It has a magical mystical and deeply meditative feeling every time I visit. I sit and contemplate her life and work and try to imagine a connection. For the past few years I have also …
The Tulipa Top Parrot is one of my favourite tulips and I'm hoping one of my bulbs growing in the garden could be just that...but I will have to wait and see...any day now! Also the hostas are growing fast and of course the alliums...so looking forward to those opening too. The bulbs were …
I am taking on the challenge from @thehiddenedge to name #10-defining-albumspost A child of the 50's and a teenager of the 60's my taste developed with age and became very eclectic. Thinking myself somewhat a rebel ( who isn't at 13) I didn't like much of the popular music of the time and when I …

Many years ago two little children took their Granny and Mummy to visit fairyland. As they approached the entrance to fairyland they were very excited..... Granny said, we must walk very lightly and speak softy so as to not frighten the fairies The fairies could entrance us with just one look, we were filled with …
Square Tops: Atop a Green Hill far away. Recently I have mentioned (several times - sorry ) my visit to Cornwall back in November where on a wet and windy day I was out sketching The Island. I was some distance away and visibility was not good, so squinting my eyes I drew a series …

https://videopress.com/v/ZZnuZ7p8?preloadContent=metadata Where has he gone I wonder? Since the lockdown I haven't had a visit from Mr Woodpecker, having only in recent months welcomed him to my garden.
