OK, that didn’t work. This is the source picture, from which I attempted to create a surreal image; That point in time at which artists realised that they weren’t tied to producing pictures of scenes from the bible unleashed their brains. We entered and adapted the age of the impressionists and moved to the abstract.Continue reading “125/366 The Story of Art – Abstract to surreal”

124/366 Squirrel
This was around lunchtime. I’d put food on the table early, and hadn’t had a chance to check it, but it hadn’t taken the squirrel long to find it. I don’tthink the squirrel was there all morning, but it was still there at lunchtime. At first, it was on the table, and was being pesteredContinue reading “124/366 Squirrel”
123/366 Monday – Trains
Or lack of them, and no this is is not a commuter thing. The thing is, I like trains. I like watching trains. I like knowing about the signalling infrastructure. I’d love to have a decent model layout. I don’t think I have the skills to build one. Mainly because I have never really tried.Continue reading “123/366 Monday – Trains”
122/366 A Wow! Milestone and Feng Shui of Mugs.
122 days ago, I embarked upon a bit of a mission. I’m quite shocked at how quickly the time has gone, and to be honest how much I have enjoyed this. Just occasionally A little bit of a struggle to write something, but I have achieved it. There is always a fear that I wouldContinue reading “122/366 A Wow! Milestone and Feng Shui of Mugs.”
121/366 Saturday Walk
You get two for the price of one today. Come 3PM, we’d had breakfast, cleaned the house, put up some more Christmas lights, had lunch and some other bits and pieces and apart from the walk to top up the bird table I hadn’t left the house. I wanted to go for a walk. IContinue reading “121/366 Saturday Walk”
120/366 The Bird Table
A problem is that there is little point having the motion sensor active because it picks up the movement of the leaves. It can’t distinguish between that and a squadron of starlings. Neos will let you define more precise zones for the camera, but like everything have to pay for it. I need to getContinue reading “120/366 The Bird Table”
119/366 Windows & Trains
This window is part of the way along the Gosport High Street. When I go out tomorrow, I’ll have to make a note as to which building it is a part of. That’s only partially important. For me, it’s thinking about who has sat in that window since the building was built. The window looksContinue reading “119/366 Windows & Trains”
118/366 Is there a good photo here?
I know this is not a good photo, so please don’t compliment me if you were even inclined to. But, I am convinced that somewhere around here, there is a good photo waiting to be found. The building is White Lion Walk It’s quite long, I had to resort to Google Maps to measure itContinue reading “118/366 Is there a good photo here?”
117/366 Beamister Lane
OK, so apart from the Vision Express shop, and the electric lighting (could it be gas?) I wonder how close this street is to the way it looked in the 1800’s? I have mentioned Beamister Lane in previous posts. As a man, in the 1800’s walking down this lane was to put your way ofContinue reading “117/366 Beamister Lane”
116/365 The Story of Art
Is it really almost three weeks since I last did a post about the book? Too long. In that time we have visited Montmartre, in the book, but several years ago in real life. It isn’t the same now as it was in the 1800s2 (I guess that’s stating the obvious really). But, you canContinue reading “116/365 The Story of Art”
