Thanks. I've somehow always painted in this way, more evolved than inspired.

She Was Always Asleep At School She Was Always Asleep At School - Galleria Balmain The idea began as a study of sleep. I changed the title when reminded of a girl in my class at our infant school, always asleep due to a troubled family life.

I have work for sale in two galleries at the moment. This is for sale for £2000 here.

Aw, thanks for kind words. My paintings look much better in real life than on the screen as I paint in a few layers of oil.

Aw thank you. I usually write visually, by imagining a scene then describing it.

Here's one of my more recent paintings: 'She Was Always Asleep At School', oil on canvas panel, 40x50cm framed. A painting inspired by a girl in primary school who was always asleep due to unknown home troubles. Elements homage Dorothea Tanning.

Remember that TS Eliot couldn't write what you can, nor those who admire your work. We're all unique, and if we're doing the best to make the best art we can, that's all that matters.

Exactly. A mermaiden... not a siren.

Thought I'd post a poem for International Women's Day. Hmm, what poems have I written about women? Here is 'Mermaid' from my collection The Burning Circus.

Biblical? I didn't notice that myself... It was more a comment on creativity requiring silence to flourish. The fact is was conceived in those socially isolated Covid times is a factor too.

2K, because it was a slightly more advanced version of Flatspace 2, rendered as Flatspace II.
