'Well done soldier!
And welcome Mr Smithson and young lady, I was informed of your trouble. I suggest we make legs and be gone before the guards return...
Thank you Mr Ghost, you did a grand job! Please feel free to join us...'
'I think he likes chasing the castle folks too much Sire, he looks rather happy...'
'WhooHOOOhoooo...'

I don't like being sat in an office all week. Let me out! Let me free!
This gorilla is big. The most surprising thing about him is that he is made out of spoons. Spoons? Yes, you heard me right.
Quite why he is made out of spoons is beyond me, but I suppose that is art. He resides at the British Ironworks a strange museum type place with all sorts of metally iron things. It really is quite unusual in the best quirky British way. But it is free to visit, somewhere the whole family can enjoy being together and even your dog can go with you.
Looking Out
Martin Beek:
The paintings, drawings and digital works that form my contribution to this exhibition result from my residency at Camp Walden, Michigan during this summer. With the exception of the Simon’s Wood series of iPad drawings (no. 14), all the work was conceived, painted and drawn in the USA. It has come from a relatively small area of woodland no more than one hundred metres from my cabin studio.
In 2013 I exhibited my ‘plein air’ oils of rural locations in Ipsden and Longworth in a show called ‘The Pace of Nature’. These smaller paintings were a direct response to places that I had come to know well. Each work reflected the changing weather conditions that characterise the British climate; they were about the immediate moment. I did not retouch any of them in the studio.
In Looking Out my approach has slightly altered in that, whilst each work results from many hours’ direct work outside, certain passages and responses to the forest were repainted or reworked under studio conditions as a result of further consideration. This series was also painted as a body of work with several being developed simultaneously, rather than each being a record of a particular day.
Possibly the most difficult thing to do as a painter is not to mimic someone else’s paintings or style. I therefore find that my unique choice of location, which has no immediate association with other artists, is a really helpful move as it gives me a clearer sense of vision. Walden fulfils that for me, as it has done for many years.
This is the first time that I have exhibited in the UK a complete series of American works painted in situ. With the opportunity to spend seven or more hours painting each day, without having to travel any distance, I seem to find I can paint more fluently and the sense of involvement is all the deeper. America during the summer months, with its extreme heat and strong light and shadows, injects a kind of excitement into my work that I don’t often achieve in Britain. I find drawing trees both challenging and rewarding, not at all predictable if one is serious about the task. Here in the heart of the forest new opportunities present themselves. I suppose one of the ‘rules’ of modern painting, if such exist, is to think about the surface and not go for illusionistic tropes. So, as with all my work since 2012, I’ve made it quite specific in its intentions, without labouring or overworking. This results in an effort to create a lively surface.
The paintings are considerably larger than the 150 works of ‘The Pace of Nature’ series. The larger scale involves different approaches, and a lot more physical movement in order to judge the effect of distance and overall optical colour mixtures and relationships.
The acrylic paintings (‘Woodnotes’ I–III) were influenced by my iPad drawings, utilising the possibilities of multiple layers of line and overlapping colour. These works pull away from their motif and are a more personal statement about the forest and capture a fleeting sensation. They are characterised by loose areas of random marks against areas of control, held in the geometry created by the pine trees.
Formally, the works stress verticality and height, looking out and upwards, strong contrasts and spatial division. It was also rewarding to make a number of large charcoal drawings (nos. 11–13) to convey strong areas of light and shade.
Each morning began with an iPad drawing, some of which form Walden Suite (no. 2), a response to the daily variations of light and colour. The iPad drawings echo the Simon’s Wood piece (no. 14) which I began in January 2016 and finished just before my June departure for USA.
Not having enough time to make it back to Grand Rapids, D707's crew tied their train down at the east end of Fox siding. Power on this day was an NS SD70ACU, a UP SD70M, and a TORC SD40.

On the Frankland River Western Australia ...... the river was like a mirror the morning of this display.
America Beautyberries (Callicarpa Americana)
This native shrub is very popular with the local wildlife, like deer, armadillo, raccoon, and opossums. But it is the love that songbirds have for them that keeps me on the lookout for beautyberries.
This shot was taken with the Fujifilm X-T2 using a vintage lens from the late 1950s, the Asahi Pentax Auto-Takumar 55mm f/2

From the archives (as I haven't been out with the camera for what feels like months) Approaching sunset at Neist Point.
This is a pretty park, apparently only for use by the residents who live in the townhomes abutting the park.

In the wildlower corner of my garden all the meadow cranesbills of which there are many are blue except this one. Only this one is white and it coes up every year without feel!
Pitsi sometimes can be VERY sweet... especially in her sleep... that being probably the only time when she doesn't scratch me :-D
EXPLORE #265 (highest), Oct. 28, 2008 !
I am interested in experimenting (or getting addicted maybe) to this out of focus photography. It is obviously a bit difficult to not go into the abstract, as I have done here I think. However it is a start and it is also something which appeals to the shaky hands as we get older haha :-). This is actually the corner of our patio, I think the light coming through the boards plays an important part so here we are: photo number 1.
move over....headed out to the neighborhood feed-lot this morning - nothing smells better - escp when you're downwind....watching the starling murmurations - saw some nice ones, just wasn't close enough to get a descent shot of them - but they sure filled a bunch of trees that i was able to drive right up to...and no amount of me hollering and screaming could get them to fly off....
Flying out to Los Angeles to empty my mother's house.
I was deep in a much needed nap when my wife Anne started poking me and saying "I think this huge hole in the ground is the Grand Canyon."
I woke up, peeked over her and indeed it was. I'm so out of the habit of taking window shots on planes it didn't occur to me until we were almost past it to attempt one, but this is the one good shot I got.
That's the south rim and the Colorado River and I must say, this was the cleanest window and the best view of the Grand Canyon I've ever seen in the hundreds of times I've flown over it. I was surprised the pilots didn't come on the intercom and announce it, it was simply breathtaking.
I had the Ricoh GR II easily accessible and I didn't have a lot of time to futz around with it so I shot and prayed. This is the high contrast monochrome JPEG pretty much straight out of the camera. It's a more dramatic image than the RAW version, even heavily processed so I'm using it here because indeed, it was a dramatic sight.
