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
#Fowc #Awesome
Salford 4th June 2019
If this reads a bit like a list – It’s not supposed to be!
Things I’ve done, Places I’ve seen
Being a cog as part of a much larger machine
Taking up writing as self – therapy
Helping out run some great events for free
Greeting students at the museum door
Laying down tiles of a competition floor
Rising to heights of an ancient scene
Keeping a log of the places I’ve been
#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.
A Memory of a Greek Holiday to Rhodes
Enjoy the view – I went up quite a few steps to get this drawing
Masterpiece
Made from the finest beef
And vegetables fresh from the north of england
Something stupendous has been prepared
Transforming the ingredients into something that
Excites the tastebuds, as meat and potato dance
Round the pan with carrots and leeks
Pepper, salt and herbs
In a tango to
Excite the senses
Coming together on the plate…a dish
Everyone will enjoy
#nature #art #autumn
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
Salford, 24th September 2018
Sat on the corner,
a man sits with his pencils, paper and paints
lovingly capturing local life
for years he’s being perfecting his craft
only using the same palette of colours to bring
reality of the places he
draws in pencil or charcoal to life
