It can’t be stopped… (poetry)

It can’t be stopped

What now unfolds

It looks so weird

What the future holds

It’s not by accident

But pure design

We’re trying hard

To hold the line

But it’s the line

That they keep moving

Just as fast

As we are disproving

All the nonsense

And all the mystery

But can’t keep up

As they rewrite history

Changing that

Which we already knew

Convincing many

That lies are true

So now we’re faced

With a growing threat

And one in our lifetime

We have not met

Time will tell

If the numbers can see

Just what is being set

For a new reality

Because it doesn’t look good from where I’m sitting…

Black and white paintings #1

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

Turns out I really do enjoy painting trees, and with the new style I’m doing it requires a black, white and grey painting first before the colour glaze is added after with oil paints.

I have decided to keep a couple of them without colour as they are very pleasing to my eye, it’s thoroughly satisfying being able to create these. Just finding the time is difficult at the moment.

Light, shadows, depth and perspective is something I have always wished I could do with drawing or painting. I finally found a medium I can explore that with. And mixed with another favourite, nature.

There have been a few other experimental pieces which I’ll share over the coming days. Some have worked ok, some not so much, but still have something about them. We’ll see where it goes from here.

The garden 2021 – June berries

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

Its been quite a month in the garden, so many bugs, berries and insects, and more flowers bursting through.

The loganberries, gooseberries and redcurrants look like they will be plentiful. And there’s a handful of blueberries ready to pick and eat 😋 .

The wild strawberries are also ripening on a daily basis now and its super cool having to forage for them. Rummaging through the bushes for them!

They are very sweet and my dog like strawberries too so come running over for one when it’s rummage time.

Small little handfuls everyday, what a summer treat. Homegrown fruit from the garden.

New paintings – trees

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

These are the ones that have started my new wave of paintings, after doing 3 of these, I wanted to do the green one posted earlier. Problem is, these paintings start as black and white and look rather effective. So I have painted more so I can keep one in black and white, i’ll share those tomorrow
