An artist (many solo and group shows)who lives in East Sussex paints pictures inspired by the beach and the sea in his garden studio which sits at the back of an amazing garden sometimes open and visited by many which has raised thousands for charity.

'Portrait of a Girl.' (1904) From early in his career, Ian Strang was recognized as a brilliant draughtsman. He was much admired for his portrait drawings, inspired by those of Hans Holbein in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle.

When I came upon this wonderful grove of lenga trees in Argentinian Patagonia, I could not pass up the opportunity. The dead branches & beautiful black trunks add an interesting graphical element to a sea of autumn colors.

"The Truth was Revealed" by Egon Schiele captures two figures in expressive, contorted postures, showcasing his signature style of bold lines and emotional intensity. This artwork emphasizes Schiele's interest in human form and psyche, which profoundly influenced the Austrian Expressionist movement.

This vivid sunflower radiates warmth and vitality, standing as a natural remedy against the lack of sunlight. Its golden petals droop gracefully, still dotted with sparkling dew, yet their brilliant color seems to capture and reflect the missing sunshine. Even on overcast days, the sunflowerโ€™s bright presence brings a sense of light and cheer to the garden, offering a gentle boost to mood and spirit.

Move over, Alan Turing: meet the working-class hero of Bletchley Park you didnโ€™t see in the movies The Oxbridge-educated boffin is feted as the codebreaking genius who helped Britain win the war. But should a little-known Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers be seen as the real father of computing?

After the descriptive alt text is a poem to go with the scene. 

Alt Text: A scenic autumn landscape with golden sunlight streaming through the branches of a large tree in the foreground. The leaves are turning shades of orange and yellow, and the sky glows warmly with a mix of sunlight and soft clouds. In the distance, a forest stretches across the horizon, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Poem for #ImageAndVerse 

On fields o'er which the reaper's hand has pass'd 
Lit by the harvest moon and autumn sun, 
My thoughts like stubble floating in the wind 
And of such fineness as October airs, 
There after harvest could I glean my life 
A richer harvest reaping without toil, 
And weaving gorgeous fancies at my will 
In subtler webs than finest summer haze.

~ Henry David Thoreau

A low light pink flower pattern wallpaper with black paint drips on the upper left corner. In the middle is a hand embroidered human skull with a male house sparrow standing on top. Both skull and sparrow are looking towards the left.

"Sparrow And The Skull"
Thread painting
This is the only hand embroidery on wallpaper full image artwork I have ever made. I love it but it was incredibly fragile to make. I've only shown it a couple of times because I couldn't part with it, but it is in my webshop.
