Light from above...

I've still got this fascination at the moment with telegraph poles and wires, which in turn has led to a fascination with the sky...and the amazing things it does to the wires!
The sky late this afternoon was extraordinary...



...in complete contrast, the light at Birling Gap the weekend before last was completely defining, and just so clear...
I find hospitals probably some of the least aesthetically pleasing places on the planet...but I was determined to at least try and appreciate something...even if it was simply arrangement of inanimate shapes...
...outside was better...


...and in amongst all these wires; these communicative threads, I got out my watercolours and painted a birthday present for a friend...
...and then, clearly, just went back to basking in industrial sun...

Wires, Branches and Barbara Hepworth...

Last May I found this origional Barbara Hepworth signed print in a broken frame, hiding amongst tatt and shattered mirrors, in a charity shop...I bought it for £2, and recently I think I've probably been subconsciously inspired, as just before Christmas I had it properly framed and put in a proud position at home...my morning run has been catching snatches of Hepworth all over the place...as well as wires, balloons and buses...
