Covers


(with this blog in mind - following my failure to adjust the title page)
 - - - - A list of possibles.
I wanted to change the "cover" for this blog and ran into innumerable difficulties!
These were some of the "possibles" that crossed my mind. 

Let the Show begin



a video still, not big enough

Comment on a possible exhibition of contemporary pub signs

Swami and friends, Jakarta, all those years ago







Some murals I did a while ago - too personalised




swimmin



Too black and white, mind I think this one has legs

Quite a hoot, but for me personally - maybe put it as my computer screen.







Well, I offered it up as a cover for this site, but this site wasn't playing ball.
I think maybe its a case of "one shot, one life"
I f you don't get it right from the word go, you have immense problems.




A set of snaps from a stage background I painted ten years ago which has unfortunately vanished

The one I chose to replace the old cover, but which has in fact chosen to read you, not yours.

I think this was from Italy some 20 years ago, again as a cover it has exceeding possibility but is ---
just a sketch.
Massed Elven Choir.
Needs thickening up




Would be good for some sort of nature thing

A Wooden Om - Already belonging to another blog

The Argonauts, Mural at the old Birmingham library, back in 2009.
Again, too specific.




"A room of my own" from Sunday Observer colour supplements back in the early 80's


Spring Spring Spring




Waiting for George







March Virgin

From a Pub Sign






Soft sun on pale skinned people
drawn out of the dark by the changing tide
Let me loose from my winter shackles
Let me loose on the wild March skies
The rain drenched people closing their eyes
to the sounds
But we in our majik
stir the stick and taste the wine
To be engulfed by nature
drink its fountains cup
whisper in the mornings
sighing in the nights
We free thinkers who somehow care
we’ll dance our drunken dance
an weave some kind of music
whilst others stand and stare
