A flower for the south
Here it is, or was, for Susangelique.
Tegners Two
215. Man Running after his Ideal 1920, bronze. I have now added some titles and comments. I wonder if it is useful to see them first without and decide on the merits of each work as they are put to you “blind” ? These pictures come from Tegners gallery in Denmark with appropriate permission. 168. […]
One answer to global warming
I hope to do a sculpture of this Fell Pony in time for the Christmas exhibition in London. This is one of the most “more-ish” sports I know. More pictures to come soon.
Dedicated to all those young who will not see this again
Here is a picture of the woods here. I dedicate this picture to all the young who will not see something like this again as a result of gun crime. Since the swallows left in October last, the little stable yard outside my studio (the old tack room) has been very quiet. Yes, a dozen […]
One Of Art’s Greatest Secrets
95. Female Figure. A Fragment.1904, plaster. A note of explanation Chris Millers site of 20 C figure sculpture started me off with this blog, so I must get back again to the business in hand. Please forgive the enthusiasm I have for this Sculptor, but I am somewhat incensed at the low profile he seems […]

Here very quickly are some pictures of spring today. Primroses, a white violet, hawthorn (blackthorn) and for Erik a Tulip!
For Chris
Well it varies! My favourite which we bought last year was £15, ($ 28) it had a good number of flowers but was rather “leggy” and so in the “sale” at half price. This year it is doing well but still a bit “leggy”. I think when it has flowered you can prune it so […]
Camellias
Camellia Sunday, here are the first 8 of the 16 or so I photographed at the annual sale. You may love or hate looking at plants, on the whole I get bored quickly except for Azaleas and Camellias when in abundance. I recommend Exbury Gardens for Azaleas. If it is Camellias you like then you […]
