2 Beats in a Bar are two oil paintings on box gallery canvas each measuring 31cm x 61cm.
When I listen to music I often think of the musical notes as being a solid form so painted some jazz with the notes floating around the musicians on ribbons some being blue for the blues and others being sharp and white, with some light blue in between. Sassy shoes finish them off! A couple of fun paintings for a music fan.

Take a life, an artists life
Make it hard, give them strife
Turn them into someone forlorn
Dont think twice about pouring scorn
Upon their work, for all to see
Does it well with intense glee
Cloaking you with their disdain
Its not the trend Are you insane
Its too much this or not enough that
With a sneer you are turned down flat
Time ticks away, you still produce
Your heart and mind need no excuse
To create at will, is your Endeavour
To climb the ladder of success, however
Many times they snap the rungs
You will climb and shout with expanding lungs
You will not hide your work away
In dusty drawers in disarray
You want the eyes of the world to gaze
Upon your work and lift the haze
To break fragile shells, and look inside
No longer run, no longer hide
Break through the fabric of your life
Your brush becomes a switchblade knife.

Basque in Bilbao.
The structures are there, albeit in tatters
The people walk by, who cares, what matters
We have the museum of beautiful art
The Guggenheim sitting there, gleaming and smart
How can it be, these buildings decaying
Left untouched, unloved, sadness conveying
The city is now so crumpled and shallow
The city once loved, the city Bilbao. Print Available - Email Your Request

Blockade

Most of my work is produced on large canvas sizes, so this was a challenge for me so I chose rough canvas which has a lot of body to compensate for the small image that I painted onto it. In a way I felt that it was in need of nourishment I suppose. It was fun to do and there are four of these little paintings. Small does not necessarily mean quicker though
as this painting took a month to complete and a certain amount of eye strain.. Print Available - Email Your Request

Glad to be Home
″It′s been one of those weeks, the roads were rammed, the Boss was a bully AGAIN, the heel broke on my new shoes, the cat did a whoopsee on the carpet, my boyfriend has not phoned all day, the lift still does not work, the landlord has not fixed that light even though I have asked five times now, that bloke is staring out of the window at me and it′s just started to rain. God, I am glad to be home″.
