A messy job
#naturalforms – fluid sculpture 03
I cannot work without wearing gloves, no matter how careful I am I always end up covered in paint, so I wear these vinyl gloves, which in this case have turned themselves into an artwork.
A natural bridge
#connectinginterlocking – leading to other places 01
While hiking through woodlands I was delighted to find this perfect example of a natural bridge formed by a tree that had fallen across a steep ditch. Firmly anchored at both ends it provides a stable crossing point.

Decorative and Structural
#structuralcurves – noble grandeur 01
This doorway on Lincoln Cathedral’s north side is a feast of decorative arches and curves that build an illusion of great depth while drawing the eye ever upwards. Only the door openings are structural, while the two outer arches elegantly fill what would otherwise have been a blank wall.
Enclosure
These fake windows are in the boundary wall of what was the Ealing Asylum, intended purely as decoration on an otherwise blank wall. One wonders what was on the reverse.
The mixing starts
#naturalforms – fluid sculpture 02
Mixing the basic colours in various combinations to give me an idea of what combinations are available, here I am adding black in various degrees to the base colour.
Wheat Harvest
#weatheredlandscape – elemental sculpture 01
The wheat harvest has been poor this year and I suspect that the farmer has abandoned this field and will plough the crop back into the soil in the spring. The weather has altered this landscape but in a subtle and unexpected way.
