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.

white toast
Thursday, November 10th, 2016with butter and lime marmalade
Just delicious. Crunchy crust with just the right chewiness on the inside. Butter applied when the toast was still hot so that it melts and spreads easily. A commercial lime marmalade was used because I couldn’t find a new jar of my own seville orange but it was perfectly good and one that we had when I was a child. Accompanied by a second slice of toast and washed down with a glass of cold milk.

Brick
Friday, October 14th, 2016useful art
This piece shows the fusion of a number of different art forms and is quintessentially philosopherontap. Constructed from an original loose pile of bricks bound with a traditional sand and cement mix the wall represents a society that has regained its sense of proportion. It is a mixture of artesanal endeavour combined with a wry sense of perspective that is not always in tune.
Photographed on location in Lincoln at the house of the artist. Offers over £500k will be considered.
jobslist
Monday, October 10th, 2016jobslist completed
This is only a temporary state of affairs. I have to celebrate quickly. The state of having a completed jobslist is ephemeral. It is actually a highly unstable state. One liable to self destruct randomly in accordance with Heisenberg’s own uncertainty principle. Anne is due back late tonight. There will be a new jobslist by the weekend, on the back of a newer envelope. Let us sit in a quiet moment of contemplation…

the bathroom radio is kaput btw. not repairable, or certainly not worth the effort.

The Blind
Friday, October 7th, 2016I had faith
This project has been on my list longer than any I think. It’s been one of those “when a man says he will do a job he doesn’t need reminding every six months” situations. To be fair Anne hasn’t given me much grief. The blind has however been a persistent line item on the list for much of this year. I knew I would get it done eventually. I had faith in myself.
It took me approximately 90 minutes to put up this morning. I didn’t record my exact start time but I finished shortly before noon. Whilst doing the job I had the Ken Bruce show on the wireless in the garage and the front garage door open to let in some natural light.
You can see that the blind is largely cosmetic as the wall of the kitchen extension blocks out much of the light anyway and certainly the window is not in a position where privacy is required. Nevertheless if Anne want’s a blind she shall have it and I think that the end result looks attractive.
The room is the former garage that is used as a gym and store. Not much time is spent in it.
