Stormy Weather
I really enjoy this time of year. There is enough light now for some breathtaking cloud patterns but also stormy skies and fast moving winds to keep the landscape constantly changing. Managed to capture this wonderful moment the other day as a storm passed over Allestree/Kedleston area late afternoon. This pattern of clouds didn't last long and I waited until the sun came through before snapping this one. The photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson called this the "decisive moment"

Website Update
I have updated my web site at http://garbleart.co.uk/
I decided on a simple clean one page approach which should load up quickly. The new page has all the essential info and a grid with previews of nine of my paintings, clicking on this leads through to Minigallery for more information

Doodles
Doodling has always been a compulsive habit for me. This year I decided to do a doodle a day, here's 3rd March!
Tweets from March
As you know I am a Tweeter and my Twitter my ID is garbleart (http://twitter.com/garbleart)
Here is a selection of tweets from March
- Reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. On page 22 - only another 898 pages go!
- Finishing two fleshy sculptures whilst listening to st germain. Not the legendary immortal occult figure but the house/nu jazz musician;-)
- Listening to 'Black Celebration', Depeche Mode. Love the sinster noises @ start of title track. Superb album even after all these years.
- Today is Ada Lovelace day. She was the world's first programmer. She didn't drink Jolt cola or keep a selection of pens in her top pocket
- In the studio painting. Listening to 'telepopmusic - angel milk' . Window open spring air. Lovely.
- Trilogy Meter by Dan Meth. Graphical comparison of movies and their sequels. Certainly agree with the Matrix one.http://tinyurl.com/bnn8gy
- Joke: 'three fonts go into bar, the barman says sorry we don't serve your type here' ;-)
- Chilli. Red wine. Bread and butter pudding. Zombie massacre via house of the dead. Got to stay awake!!
Regards
