I love this gloomy piece which evolved under my eyes. My visual memory was jerked by the beginnings of the hunched up figure and I found the image I recalled in a book about Gauguin (hero!) with a photo of a Peruvian mummy. I have always loved the poem by Stevie Smith – hence the title.
Maybe all the horrifying stories of drownings in the Mediterranean influenced me as well. We can never know all the subconscious themes.

The things in my imagined landscapes come from patterns and designs that I ‘find’ as the painting grows. I heard of the Tower of Fools at an exhibition at the Wellcome Foundation a while ago. Image approx. 10×8 inches (25.5×20 cm).
Picture recently framed for upcoming summer exhibition at a local gallery. Image 8 x 10 inches (20×25 cm).
You’ve seen silly – this is sillier!
Mixed media on paper, about 8×10 inches.
Hurrah! One of my entries has been accepted.
Recent small pictures for the 365 course are on my diary page.

All images are 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm) and are in mixed media. They are not intended to illustrate the bible story accurately!
Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all. (Traditional)
Image is 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). It emerged like many of my paintings from a random start.
