Watercolour Saturn by Paul.

You are time.

I can paint you secondly none
with hot breath and butterfly strokes.
You are being commissioned.

Your dusky colour a flutter

and you look like an eye.

Your thighs quicken in me.
Spin vinyl slick.
Press PLAY again!
Crowssswoop the crest of Devil Rock.
On windy hill a whole eon spent.
This is Saturday, the Planet.
Try to win, first over the line, raining through every time.

Graffiti Sunset.

This image was captured in February 2007.

My Grandfather, William, A.K.A., 'Billy the Red' was a Japanese Prisoner of War.

Whilst captive, the only things that kept him sane were the amazing sunsets he witnessed.

I only met him a handful of times and I still wonder if my infatuation with all things astronomical stems from his experiences.

November leaves descend.

2 poems culled from my College Diaries.

Written in November 1990.

You call that art?

You call that art?

Collage by Paul, from Sketchbook #93.

Well yes I do actually, you know....art created by me, based upon my inspiration, which is all about my vision......

We're all different, I would never say it's my way or the highway, unlike you...

If you can't see it, say it, believe it, then I think you're missing something!

It's your loss, as they say.

Wildfire in watercolour by Steve.

Our thoughts are with those who have had their lives blighted by fire, especially the people made homeless in the state of California at this time.

Pavement Pentagram.

Chalk circles captured on the pavement.

The photograph was taken in 2004 when I was a tourist in Australia.

The image is culled from a home movie I made which has been posted on You Tube.

I have been informed that the chalk drawing is the work of Elijah O'Brien, apparently he regularly inscribes his geometric patterns on the pavements of Nimbin.

I am still waiting for the artist to contact me.

Anatomical painting by Jo.

This watercolour painting was created by Jo. It is entitled, 'My body on a river.'

Rainbow in watercolour by Ceri.

This watercolour painting was created by Ceri and was described in context with

the Rainbow Flag.

Figurative painting by Colin.

This painting of a figurative man was painted by Colin, it is very spontaneous and entitled:-

'The 3 Legged Shadow.'

Graffiti Palm.

Continuing the theme of palms, here's a photograph of a 'graffiti palm' I noticed on the bridge over the River Calder. February 2007. I do hope that the graffiti artsit was wearing a glove!

Kiss my art by Nikola.

This vibrant palm print was created by Nikola, she also penned the title, 'Kiss my art.'

Nikola also created another print using the colour green (above). There was some laughter and a delay in creating the second print, when Nikola realised that she had painted the wrong hand, thereby taking some time out to clean up and start over.

These images are captured using black out fabric and the pin hole projection method. I used black material to cover the windows and all light entry points. The studio has a good sunlight aspect, it travels across the space/wall in a reasonable curve. I made a small hole in the fabric near to the window and waited for the sun to arrive.
The best type of conditions are clear but part cloudy, hazy with cloud formations that roll in a moderate wind. This enables the projection to be more interesting than it would be on a cloudless day. Transforming, progressing, steady journey. I was surprised to see some vivid colours in the clouds and the sun.

Good Morning Moon!

Good morning Moon!

Fancy meeting up this afternoon?

We can dance our footprints into the sand dune.

I've written this poem, will you write the tune?
My individuality is your platoon.

Why rehearse the part of the stupid lune?

Why is your prediction my indecipherable rune?

No one gives a toss about you, half Moon.

The pantomime revolves around a sunken pontoon.

Why look at me like a goon?

Into the reflection upon the lagoon.

When you're full on and you have written my tune...

We can dance our footprints into the sand dune.

Cardboard zombie.

Cut from found cardboard, the Halloween zombie has awoken. Watch this space for further decoration and embellishment.

Tube.

Platform

curving spanning

banks

verging on

an empty river bed

lined with steel veins

are spaces for trains

stretch and roll

stock kink and flex

scratch and screech

emotive commotion

inertia snake hurtling wake

all aboard

take a seat

strangers faces meet

into the tunnel

aperture funnel

precipice

shelf stacked

high upon a

geological happenstance

look at the view from here

base jump now

free fall from grace

fulfill an overwhelming compulsion

to communicate with space

hear that

orbital orchestra

a whistling flow

remember

amnesia

vertigo

The bridge and the Pylon.

At last a smile...

At last a smile,

Too quickly fading leaves.

Where did this flush of cheek simmer from?

And what of my words?

Were it not for my eyes reflected in yours?

Was it not a moment?

That gentle tremor of lips amused,

Beyond whim,

After dark without.

(Pencil drawing 2006)

The Moon and Venus in the Garden.

Chalk on patio and lantern and yellow rose at twilight.

Concentric circles.

The rain has passed

a crystal precipitation

slips from the iron bridge

a train thunders across

droplets plummet

scattering splashes and

overlapping silky

concentric circles.

The Tunnel.1
