A dark and moody sunrise.

Painting – Coral Reef
My underwater theme has moved onto coral reefs, although it’s harder than I thought (I didn’t think it would easy), it was very satisfying to paint this. I couldn’t hold back with the metallics though, as you can tell. Even though it is cluttered, reefs seem to be sometimes so in my head it works.

Striped Shield Bug
Turns out I have captured a number of different shield bugs on my photographing expeditions. Here is the black stripped one.

Just when you thought… (poetry)
Just when you thought
It couldn’t get worse
With more yet to come
It seems so perverse
Like clash of the titans
They’re pulling the strings
We’re tied in like puppets
Played with like things
However you swing it
We should realise
The conditions are set
To dehumanize
That which we are
And what came before
Making existence
Somewhat of a chore
Without any joy
A darkness draws near
And one they allow
Through persistent of fear
~
Try and look through the facade

A nice sunset, enhanced a bit.

Male Blue-tailed Damselfly
This wonderful insect flew into the garden a couple of years ago and settled on my then growing green beans plant and sticks. And sat there for a little while, enough time to get my camera and take photos! I always feel lucky when nature visit, but extra lucky when it lets me take pictures 🙂

Painting – more landscape
This one turned out a bit different. All I knew is I wanted to try and have a moon. No metallics used on this one which was hard, I really am tempted with all of them to just add a bit of shimmer. But it didn’t need it after all.

I’m not sure how long… (poetry)
I’m not sure how long
We can pretend
That those who run it
Want this to end
I’ve never known
Such a show of shit
There are too many
Who benefit
From keeping things
Just as they are
Telling blatant lies
It’s just bizarre
And stranger still
One can’t deny
How so many folks
Did blindly comply
They followed the hype
And bought the tale
But all we’ve seen
Is an epic fail
Based on fiction
Our lives they stole
Just so they’ll have
Complete control
Frightening isn’t it?

Spectacular Lenticular
Clouds have always taken my attention. From lying on your back as a kid in the summer and staring at the big white clouds drift by against a blue sky.
Over the last few years I’ve seen some rather spectacular clouds of the lenticular variety. Mostly in Spain but some here in the UK as well. But so far this is one the most epic ones, reminding me of a spaceship or vortex.
I have also animated this photo 🙂 you can find this and many more animated skies (and a few of my dog), on my YouTube channel.

MKW Designs – Space Range
I had a brief phase of using some of my photography with a space overlay app, I quite liked some of the results. Used my moon pictures taken with Celestron telescope and used a few oil drop and a water droplet pictures as they had a spacey feel to them to me.
