Lisle on TV
Here I am outside the STV Studios where I had been giving a rather uncomfortable piece to camera to promote the new exhibition!

Be there or be square
Here is your invitation to the show of the year!
And here's a poem by Seamus Heaney titled Personal Helicon
As a child, they could not keep me from wells
And old pumps with buckets and windlasses.
I loved the dark drop, the trapped sky, the smells
Of waterweed, fungus and dank moss.
One, in a brickyard, with a rotted board top.
I savoured the rich crash when a bucket
Plummeted down at the end of a rope.
So deep you saw no reflection in it.
A shallow one under a dry stone ditch
Fructified like any aquarium.
When you dragged out long roots from the soft mulch
A white face hovered over the bottom.
Others had echoes, gave back your own call
With a clean new music in it. And one
Was scaresome, for there, out of ferns and tall
Foxgloves, a rat slapped across my reflection.
Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime,
To stare, big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring
Is beneath all adult dignity. I rhyme
To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.
And
I just found out that the plural of fox is a skulk
That is all

Norrie Nails It!
Seeing as it was a gloriously sunny day here in Edinburgh, I decided to take a break and popped up to UnionGallery. Alison and Rob have curated what is perhaps their best show yet. Norrie Harman's work is something else! You must go see this!
Here's a link to the gallery LINK and here's a darn fine review LINK

Tired
Working on this and three other paintings for the show in July. Tired. Stressed. Bah!
That is all
