The Jetsons was a cartoon that was set in 2062 but made in 1962. The show predicted a number of futuristic electronics, such as flat screen TV’s, smart watches, video calls, digital newspapers and automatic vacuum cleaners. Did they get it right? They lived in a middle layer between earth and space. And used aContinue reading “Innovation”

I love a show of sunflowers…
To people who might say, I could have created that image – I challenge you to create! This is why this blog exists making art fun and simple. My memories of sunflowers come from the opening credits of The good life. A be flying around a flower introducing the stars of the show. Today IContinue reading “I love a show of sunflowers…”
Kids today…!
Covid has made headphones an office necessity but while my generation were about making things smaller. Today’s youth want bigger more ridiculous looking headphones. Our headphones became inner ear pieces, our phones turned from bricks to small tablets. Perhaps it’s a need to look cool on zoom, or to listen to swearing in a gameContinue reading “Kids today…!”
Geometric
This was a prompt for from the Reading art club on instagram. I’m getting excited by abstract art, but I feel I haven’t quite pulled this one off. That said, I found the geometric art quite difficult to look at and that is very evident in this piece!
Yearly portrait time
I think I look quite serious in this portrait. I never really do backgrounds in my portraits. Choosing the background is important, to help give meanings. I might use this as a piece for a larger finished painting. To be continued…

We had been driving forever with the caravan on the back of the car and the road was narrowing to 2 lanes, from 3. Dad was driving and was in theContinue reading “Eat cone…!”
Wings
If man, or a gender neutral being, was born to fly he (she/they/them) would have had wings…I’m sure that’s a quote? I don’t fly well. I don’t do heights that well, and planes have a habit of being quite far from the ground. It won’t surprise you that I have only flown once. To IrelandContinue reading “Wings”

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” — Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park. I heard a story about a man on a train, who would deliberately sit opposite people with the same crossword. As the journey progressed he would laugh and make comments onContinue reading “Crossword-o-saurus”
Of Granny knots
It doesn’t mater what sort of cable I have they always ends up in knots. When we went camping recently I laid out the cable carefully from the electric point to the tent. There were no kinks, no coils of cable, just a lovely straight line. As we packed up and I collected the cableContinue reading “Of Granny knots”
I am not a muscled God!
A post inspired by a collage prompt – Strong. I did try to do strength training, muscle building with weights at home. This was before Kaftrio – the magic Cystic Fibrosis medication. It’s hard work lifting and lowering weights for most people but when you are low on oxygen it’s even more challenging. Before KaftrioContinue reading “I am not a muscled God!”
