'2023' Season's Greetings. [posted DEC2022]

'And on the Seventh Day He Rested...'.

Notes: It's a generational thing, or so it appears. There is a reference to 'The Bible'. Genesis 2:2:

"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."

Feedback: 'Now I am but a humble atheist and don't enjoy having to go near these dodgy texts, but surely on the seventh day he should have instead spent some time considering the future and have seen what a complete mess he made of it all - he simply buggered it all up!'. Mary Le Burr, The Sports Guardian, 25.11.2022. Page 3, Col 7.

Feedback: 'Artists of course, know better!'. Emen Murphy, Bermondsey, London.







'2022' Season's Greetings. [posted DEC2021]

'A Comfortable Place from where to Consider the Future'.

Notes: The 'three birds' are one of my motifs. They represent three albatrosses. Flying south (or north, east or west) together. Usually solitary creatures, albatrosses. They represent the environment, contradictions, etc. Another of 'my symbols' the sun, as always, a symbol of thoughtful optimism, wise as s philosopher.

Feedback: 'Great - I see it as a place of contemplation. Beautiful !' Ruth.

'1997' Change of Address. [MAR1997]

'Breen's Moving to the Gatehouse'

We all moved into the Gatehouse on the Englefield Green Campus of Brunel University on March 1 1997. We were there until March 2006. Not withstanding some racist/fascist students violence against me/us, and that of the administration, it was a great experience.

This drawing is one from my 'Black Ink' portfolio (1973 to 2006). This portfolio comprises well over 250 drawings in fine hatched black ink line.

For me these drawings allowed me to 'take the idea for a walk', in that all or any related, parallel or related motifs, on the choose subject, can get be included, trapped or considered within the composition - even the surreal or very obscure.

'Future Considerations'

This image includes the table and chair that I made for Kesar (around 1992 when he was three - I think!?) and the television set which was the subject of 'the great yarn about the filing cabinet' - To read all about it GO TO The Tale of Kesar and the Filing Cabinet. [NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL FEB 2022]
