Creativity
reality is – its your own
expression – you can do it through
a range of forms – music, dance, photography, or art
the choice is really down to you
if you want to make something – do it
versatility is the name of the game
indeed, what you make could be read, listened to, watched or eaten
there’s a host of things you could do to showcase your talent
you never know, if you don’t give it a try

She found the bird hobbling along the beach
and looked after it like her own
but like every child
it grew restless – to spread its wings
and go its own way
so they took a trip back to the shore
where the bird could take flight once more
and while the bird felt the joy of release
the girl felt an aura of peace
#Freedomofexpression #Art
A response to the latest challenge from Iscriblrs Freedom of expression series
(and yes – I will be getting arty with his one!)
A pencil and paper – the start of the process
Composing where the individual flowers went
Encapsulating the sandstone sundial at its heart
Transferred to hardened plastic
And painted in translucent paint
The final result ? A stained window without glass –
Exceptional

#CFFC #Patterns
I like patterns
you can find them all around you,
whether its in nature , or in your home furnishings
in a mural or a picture
I Volunteer at Imperial War Museum North, in Manchester, and a key place you spot patterns are in the camouflaged objects around the exhibition space
Most camouflage patterns are inspired by Nature. I was lucky enough to capture a picture of this lizard while he was standing still – out in the distance his patterned skin would have blended into the tree, as if he was part of it….Great for hide and seek.
Mother nature’s rather good with patterns as well, together with jack frost. This pic was taken in the winter season, and although it seems random, there’s a definite structure and pattern to the way the crystals of frost have formed on the car roof.

Enjoy the view – I went up quite a few steps to get this drawing
Salford Quays, 22nd November 2018
Christmas is coming……
We might be in November, but we’ve had a bit of festive decoration arrive on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal today
A number of brightly decorated snowmen, have found themselves stood around and about in locations at Salford Quays. From The Lowry to Mediacity UK, They’re all based around Raymond Briggs’ original fun character and have been decorated by local children and young people in the area.
Its Been a buzzy few months for local artworks as previously we had Bee in the City land in Salford as part of the Hive in Manchester. When they flew to pastures new, the Snowmen paid us a visit. While the Bees raised money for the We Love Manchester Fund, This time all funds will go to BBC Children in need
Feel free to comment on the snowmen I’ve captured….I’ll post more as and when i find them.

Who needs oil on canvas
When the simplest of pleasures
Works it’s way on to the paper
With simple tools such as coloured pencil
When pressure is gently applied
Wiry shapes on the fallen leaves
Will appear…bringing the image of the leaf back to life
#Craft #Museum #Poppy #Damage
IWM North, Manchester 17th November 2018
From time to Mother nature has been at the
Implanted ceramics by the canalside
X-tra ceramic poppies have had to be brought in
Even barriers – and broken ones have to be sent to the poppy hospital
Damage repaired with Slip and Glue (and more red paint)
#CFFC #Pastel #Colors
Pretty as a picture
Able to bring any flowery
Scene to life
Together on the paper – they are
Easily blendable
Locking in the colours on the paper pad
Various colours come together
In union to
Bring a smile to peoples faces
Rainbows of bright
And brilliant shades come together
Note how the primaries of red, blue and yellow merge and
Transform into the secondaries of Orange, Green and Purple
