Seek out what magnifies your spirit

"Seek out what magnifies your spirit"

Since working at SLT I have been inspired to paint in a different style. I am more attune to the intricacies of life and am again reminded of Blake's idea of eternity in a grain of sand. Pomegranates are magical, sensuous fruits, revered by many cultures as symbols of fertility. To me, the jewels inside these shiny orbs represent the abundance and the divine in us all. Clearly there is a nod to India miniature painting here although the canvas is quite large and the distressed ultramarine, gold leaf and Islamic arch remind me of Fez, again a place of labyrinthine intricacy and secrets.

Photographic Fantasy

Romanian artist Caras Ionut's fine art manipulations cleverly merge 
reality with lively dreams. In the imaginative scenes, viewers are 
introduced to odd behavior like a young girl fishing while riding 
atop another giant fish or a rhino walking on water. More...

My Guide to Sydney

Hi Andrew,

You requested some ideas about what to see in Sydney. I've stayed away from the most obvious activities such as catching the ferry to Manly because you already know about those. This document features just a few of my favourite things about my home city that I particularly recommend.

Seals on the beach

Every Winter Norfolk's Horsey beach becomes a seal pup nursery. 
On Friday 700 seals were counted. 
The pups can't swim just yet and they haven't acquired their sea coats so 
they just loll around drinking milk and gaining 2 kilos a day 
until they are ready to head for the water. 
Starvation and disease mean that only 40% survive. 

This little one loved the camera and seemed very mature in some of her poses.

OutThere Festival Great Yarmouth Sept 2014

The OutThere Festival is an extraordinary gathering of European circus and entertainment acts all gathered in and around St George's Park, Great Yarmouth. Eclectic and eccentric on the East Coast.

I love this shot, it reminds me of Martin Parr's work.

Film shoot for Bradley Buxton's new music video

Sunday morning and we had a 7am start because Biddy's opens to the public at 10am. Only problem was someone locked the door from the outside and the keys were inside. I broke in with a coat hanger hook strapped to an umbrella. Everyone was a great sport and it felt more like a late night at L'Agile Lapin, Montmartre, circa 1905 than Upper Goat Lane, Norwich 2014. 
Sleaze and cupcakes, delicious.

Autumn has arrived

One of the wonders of living in the UK is that the seasons are so prominent. I run through the woods and everyday I notice nature's tiny changes. At the moment the fungi and the berries are providing some stunningly bright highlights dotted among the greens and browns.

Come up smelling of roses

We went for a long walk around Harleston in the Waveney Valley on the weekend and
chanced upon an open day at a rose nursery.
Acre upon acre of roses scented the air with their subtle perfume.

36 hours in London with mum

2 days in London isn't long but with careful planning I managed to squeeze in lots of treats I hoped mum would enjoy.
