Dead Hedgehog
Thursday, December 1st, 2016first victim of winter
We on this planet, we are all the same. We all have the same basic needs. Food, water, shelter and good health. This applies whether you’re human or wild animal, in this case hedgehog. A lack of one of the basics has led to its demise. I almost wrote untimely demise but who is to say what is timely. We all want a long and happy life but we all have to go sometime. When that time comes has a strong element of luck. This guy ran out of luck. It’s worth thinking about the hedgehog for a short while and then moving on. If the body is still there tomorrow I’ll move it into the flower bed where it can be scavenged or simply decompose, away from the full glare of the kitchen. Goodbye hedgehog. Although we never knew you we liked you.

Tuesday, November 29th, 2016OFFICIAL. BIG BROTHER REALLY IS WATCHING YOU! WHERE WILL YOU HIDE? YOUR EXPERIENCE OF CHILDHOOD GAMES WILL NOT HELP NOW. THEY CAN SEE BEHIND THE SOFA AND UNDER BUSHES. A BEDROOM DOOR IS NO PROTECTION. YOUR EVERY MOVE IS BEING TRACKED BY BOTH FORCES OF GOOD AND EVIL. THOSE WHO SEEK TO PROTECT YOU ARE UNWITTINGLY TELLING THE BAD GUYS WHERE TO LOOK. WHO IS GOOD AND WHO IS BAD? WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO HIDE?

I like a bit of stained glass me. Nothing quite like it eh? Brings a bit of colour to the hallway. Especially when the sun shines through. Marvellous how they can do it I think.

winter
Saturday, November 26th, 2016featuring death
fallen,
dead on the floor, unwanted nuisance, brushed aside,
shrivelled up shadows of their former selves,
serve little purpose other than fertiliser,
impotent and no longer productive,
degenerate, rotting, eaten by disease,
forgotten by spring…

leafs
Thursday, November 24th, 2016painstakingly hand coloured
Took months to paint this picture. It all began back in Spring when the first buds appeared. Soon the whole wall was covered in a bright green blanket of leafs. As the season wore on their colour changed from a delicate green to a more robust darker hue matured in the glare of their South facing Summer position.
Now, as Autumn fades to Winter, the leafs are dying, killed by a rich and multi-coloured poison. The eye of the bypasser caught.
