signalling controls at sheffield park

i was peering through the glass and standing with my head bent over at a funny angle

sheffield park station roof

 

butter that will never melt in your mouth

the french must be bonkers

they send over these 25 kilo blocks of the best butter that money can buy, but pile them up on wooden euro-pallets which are way too small for the job.

as a consequence, the packaging on the overhang gets damaged and small fortunes are being junked

 

waiting for the grass to grow near heathfield

 

magic the dog, c.1974

if ever a dog had more wit and intelligence than it's human acquaintances ...

 

the magic beach 1993

afterwards, i made a magic wave of painted driftwood, it's in storage now

 

i'd rather be an engine driver

 

i could drink a bucket of tea ...

 

i heat up like a burning flame; gaslight at sheffield park

 

jorge and linda, the valley of the tajo, the montes de toledo

this happy couple are standing at the southern edge of the village of lagartera where they first met way back in the mists of time

the top of santi's staircase

 

staircase built by santi, the baker in lagartera

 

an acorn putting down a root ...

... amongst the debris besides the old track leading up from jarandilla de la vera to el guijo de santa barbara

william and donna at the molino in la centenera

tony stimpson

we tried and failed to move this rock

 

here's one i painted earlier

my very good friend linda with a signwriting something of mine that's been laying around in her place for years

 

darkness at noon

swallows taking a battering from the elements during the downpours in la vera

 

segovia

that really is snow on them thar sierras

twelve sided templars church outside the walls of segovia

 

a pen behind neither ear

 

madrid's plaza mayor

don't look too closely at the paintings ... lovely colours, atrocious drawing
