Is it just me, or does your feed seem to have changed? In the last few days. I'm getting much less action, fewer engagements to my posts.
Maybe i've just got very dull! or the politics that have let creep in? Or crap art! haa.
Who knows?

The cat from outer space.

Cinnamon, a neighbour’s bulldozer of a tomcat, has adopted my wicker swinging garden seat. I now leave it decorated overnight, so he has cover and comfort.

He rarely seems to go home. But tonight, lit by a torch, he’s the last son of Krypton, shooting through the stars.

A round wicker garden chair, hanging from a framework hidden by the dark, surrounded by plants hidden in the shadows. Inside, on a plush paisley cushion, and with a disco blue canopy over his head, a marmalade cat lies.

I have been absent due to family bereavement. My Dad passed away 2 weeks ago. I am taking a break to navigate a new emotional landscape which is proving very difficult.

I leave you with my latest soft pastel work, ‘Flower of The Deep’.

Other Worlds..Paintings done when i was under a lot of long-term stress and no sleep! 2013-2016

An almost 'jungle' scene. Painting. I was very stressed and tired. Vivid colours. Strange creatures.

Nesrine Malik always repays the reader: “The Palestinian cause cannot be returned to the fringes of “complex”, marginal politics, a framing that has enabled two years of devastation.”
