Blurred Lines 5.4.15
This week Michelle asks us to “… find beauty in a blur.” You may remember the original image, Palette Wall, which I submitted to Cheri’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall. Adding a Gaussian Blur to it has given it a new and surprising beauty. I hope you agree.

Catching the waves I & II 12.3.15
I drew this cartoon when I was still a schoolboy in the early sixties after listening to Thelonius Monk playing Blue Monk for the first time. If you have a few minutes listen to this great Jazz classic from a 1963 recording of the Thelonius Monk Quartet and available on Revolver Music’s Thelonius Monk, Volume 2. It remains one of my favourite pieces of Jazz to this day.
Somehow I feel that today’s blue palette is a good match for the jazz. What do you think?




Three Palettescapes (my new word) from yesterday’s palette photographed before it was washed away forever. The word describes these serendipitous landscapes of color that seem to have a life of their own. Interested to hear your thoughts.
