Last Post for 2020. My latest art and one or two photos.

Hello world. A very merry Christmas to all those viewers of my blog who celebrate it.

The card below is one of my own designs.

Ok, here we go with the last post I'll put on the blog until 2021. I don't seem to remember very much about this year.

As always, I shall only comment on an image if I feel it needs one.

The first image is a self portrait of me travelling during lockdown.

Self Portrait. ( I know, too arty)

Now we have what is only the second guest artist on my blog. Anne, my wife, took the photo. I thought it was wonderful and asked if I could show it. Some of you will realise that the title is a play on words of the title of a famous painting.

Ophelia Among the Soapsuds

This is a tribute to a well known Victorian painter.

After Atkinson Grimshaw

DNA Rope

Human Form

Kneeling - Screen Print

Torso A

Indigo

I have to admit that I'm really pleased with the next one.

The Gardener

Talking Head

An Abstract Expressionist experiment which turned out very well.

Gorky

This one came out so well, that I'm thinking of putting it on my studio wall.

Street Corner

This almost became a Christmas card.

Spinning Prisms

It's time I put another photograph in. The shot below was taken in a burned out building. It's the starter electronics for a fluorescent tube. I liked it as soon as I saw it. Once I'd put it on the computer, it seemed flat and lacking. I spent a very long time thinking about how to get the best out of it. It took even longer to achieve the effect. The starter now seems to be 3-D, well separated from the background and hanging in free space. It's yet another image I'm thinking of putting on my wall.

Light Fitting Remnant

A Day at the Seaside

Mantra for Ganesh

Hellcat

Altarian Swamp Blossoms

Do The Hokey Cokey

Oil  Shale

Turning Lead to Gold 

Baseline

I told a friend of mine that I thought I could live with the next image in the front room. For some strange reason, he said that I might find it would haunt me. I find it quite restful, not at all scary or sinister.

Jellyfish

It seemed a good idea to finish with a colourful image.

Middle Dean Street

That's all for 2020. See you next year.

Be safe, be careful and be kind to each other.
