Synaesthesia in the Loft and Bindweed out the Back...

It's been a very busy Brighton Festival Festival weekend, and I'm a bit knackered, so I'm providing a more visual diary this evening...
I was up very early cleaning the whole house, which meant going into the loft at one point where I keep some of my canvases. I'm a synaesthetic artist too; ie I paint sound, and I reminded myself of two of my paintings I hadn't properly looked at for a while...
Close-up of the actor/writer Michael Simkin's Voice...

Close-up of the actor Timothy Spall's Voice...both incredibly charming men, when they 'talked' for me!

There was also The Brighton Children's Parade on Saturday...with lots of angler fish playing the drums...


A massive and very impressive whale shark....

...and LOADS of people!



Later in the evening Queen's Park was variously lit up with fire, tea lights, mirror balls...and chandeliers...

and fiery water lillies...
Sunday, I did early morning gardening, which consisted of removing a lot of bindweed...


guarding seedlings from snails...

feeling proud of my minature lilac...

The Naughty One...

but not so proud of rather barren pots...

I enjoyed the rust outside...
and the smooth inside...
Am going to London tomorrow...and so glad of my Oyster card: I love it!!!

  3. It looked like great fun but must have been tiring. I haven't been to Brighton since I was 17, years ago!
    I have been behind with blogging and at have some spare time. I really enjoyed your previous post too. The embroideries are so pretty and those paintings absolutely gorgeous! I am so pleased with the painting that I have bought from you.
    Hope that you are having a greta weekend
    Take care
