Didn’t seem difficult when the likes of Darren Grimes were campaigning for Reform UK during the local elections saying waving the magic Reform wand would fix everything. They criticised local councils across the country for doing exactly what they are now. Reform UK lies to you.

I usually only post about my paintings here, but I just wanted to share some freshly cut grass on a beautiful sunny day.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Hi, I'm an artist/musician. Just moved from my - soon to be terminated FB and Insta accounts. For now I'd just like to introduce myself and hopefully start meeting likeminded people here. I will post something soon. I'm looking forward to a good dialogue, so please feel free to comment on my posts.

A suitcase is a pocket, dreams tucked inside. Corners hold secrets, zippers guide. Inside, the future stirs, ready to unfold, a map to adventures yet to be told. #vss365 #prompt #suitcase #BlueSkyPoetry #amwriting #writingcommunity #SkyPoet #SkyPoem #poetry #poem

How about some nice shiny tomatoes for a sunny Sunday (here in France, at least). I painted a few of these tomato paintings as I loved the shape and the warm reds. Oil on panel.

A different painting today: an old French door knocker in Angouleme. I intentionally left the knocker at an angle instead of straight up and down.

This painting was done on a deep cradled panel, so that when it's on a wall it will give more reality to the trompe l'oeil (3D) effect.

In painting this, it was the composition of the angle of the knife and the angle of the shadow that I liked (against the roundness of the pear).

This trompe l'oeil painting goes back a while, but makes me want to do more of these. I love the challenge of trying to get that depth to 'fool the eye'. Oil on panel.

Todays painting is off a peeled orange. I really enjoy painting peeled fruit as it reminds me of the old Flemish masters that I love so much. Oil on panel.

Going back in time ... Winsor&Newton asked me to do a painting to use on the labels of a range of their canvases. I was so thrilled, I would have done it for free .... luckily I kept my mouth shut 😄 You can see the painting and the labels in the first photo.

This is a small painting - I have included a close up detail to show that, although, my works are realist there are still painterly elements when you get up close. Oil on panel.

To start todays paintings off ... another trompe l'oeil of a lemon. These 'trompes' are always life size to make the illusion work. So, I measure the size of the actual lemon and make it the same size when I do the drawing. Oil on panel.
