NEW YEAR NEW LIFE NEW WORK

THIS TABLEAU IS A TRIBUTE TO DJANGO REINHEARDT AND ALL THE GUITARISTS WHO WERE INFLUENCED BY HIM UP TO TODAY. SOME SAY 'MOTERHEAD' I SAY WHY NOT WE ARE ALL INFLUENCED BY SOMEONE SOMETHING...EACH WORD HAS ITS MEANING AND EACH MEANING AN INTERPRETATION. CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING????
AND REMEMBER OVER ANALYSIS LEADS TO PARALYSIS. THERE IS A CERTAIN PERSON CALED "A DE A" WHO KNOWS THIS WELL AND FOR WHOM I HAVE A GREAT AFFECTION.

BEEN AWAY A LONG TIME

WELL. HERE WE ARE AGAIN; A LOT OF WATER HAS FLOWN UNDER THE BRIDGES OF PARIS SINCE I WAS ON HERE LAST BUT LIFE IS LIKE THAT. IF THINGS REMAINED STATIC IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR ANYONE.

SO WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING? WELL WORKING PAINTING AND WRITING. ITS A LONELY ACTIVITY THE AULD WRITING AND PAINTIN' BUT I HAVE MET SOME GREAT PEOPLE OVER THE LAST WHILE. I HAVE TRAVELLED A LOT TOO. WELL EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE. I HAVE DISCOVERED THE BEAUTIES OF NAPLES. MILAN. MODENA AND BERGAMO IN ITALY AND WANT TO GO BACK AS SOON AS I HAVE THE CASH/ DOSH/ MONEY OR WHATEVER.

I HAVE AN EXHIBITION OF MY PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS ON AT THE MOMENT AT THE Sociéte Générle BANK IN THE CENTRE OF SAINT MALO. THE PLACE DE PILORI. FUNNEY THING ITS WHERE THEY USED TO HANG AND PUNISH FELLONS AND MURDERS IN THE OLD DAYS AND EXHIBIT THEIR BODIES UNTIL THEY ROTTED...... I HOPE MY WATERCOLOURS DONT SUFFER THE SAME FATE BUT THEY WILL BE HANGING FOR A MONTH..

AVENUE MOZART, Paris

The view from a flat in the avenue Mozart, in Paris. I like it, what do you think????

WORLD CUP RUGBY

Here with the first thing you see when you arrive in Paris by the TGV, a statue to the World cup for Rugby.

ZENZA the RUSSIAN POET and ARTIST

My Russian Friend asked to see a photo of my other daughter the older of the two, well here she is, she does not drink pints of Guinness as a rule, but she likes to grab a drop or two from my glass for Saint-Patricks Day.

AM I AN ARTIST????

The question as to weather I am or not an artist is one which I cannot answer but it seems that no one ever bothers to look at these messages I place on the world wide web. Am I a voice crying in the wilderness? Who benifits from my work?

THE SUMMER CONCERTS

BRALL was back and the music was good. I did many studies of the musicians and the singers during the rehersals and several on the night itself.
