A Review of Paintings so far


 At what point does a collection of paintings become a installation if that is what they want to become?
I certainly see the possibility of this arrangement of paintings being one in the sense the arrangement being as important.
I can see them on a wall and perhaps growing organically...
The images are of how perceive the world and could be... needs more thought.
Then of course do the stay on the floor and meant to be viwed that way or are they meant for the wall......?

To Clear The Head


 To Clear the head
to shout and scream
no one will hear
the wind will carry it away
the great open sense of space along the seashore

A Secret Cove

A secret cove, just waiting
has always been there
will always be there
but
You have not seen it before
Experienced it before,its moods and secrets
To you its a first time
To the cove it is now

Catching The Wave Down Southsea Way


Blowing a gale and waves lashing over the sea wall to catch a picture of a wave as it hits the wall.
Someone standing there taking a photo,
Not me
Do not know who.
a stranger who's image I have borrowed

A Wave spalshes The Seashore

Could be dawn....
hint of day to be
still grey in  parts
but
the colour appearing
darkness going
new day dawning,
wave crashing against the shore
dissolves
into countless droplets
and back into the sea

Eaglebird the Hunter

Eaglebird stretches looks up
senses the time is right,he is hungry....

he waits for the moment he senses  then tenses and lifts
he is in the aire seeking warm currents to lift goes higher .

With ease circles looks down,
something below he scans seeks there its again a stoat that will do

Quickly downwards
all the stoat knows is the shadow, the shadow of death for
he feels the claws struglles but is liufted from the gound with surpring ease.
Eaglebird,
a king among birds has his meal for now
