Don't Cross The Line.

Stu's View

The garden is now getting it 2013 makeover,
the washing line had to come down,
 enabling the large containers of trees and shrubs
to-be dragged about like scenery on a  film set.   

It will grow back just like my hair.

Golden Virginia or Old Holborn

Roll up

not a smoke not a puff.

a bus ticket to Memory Lane,

as a small boy riding on top deck

of the red root master bus, the conductor

when dad pay would reel off a extra extra long ticket

just for me to play with, why this memory today well

my poetic rants seem to stimulate  a wellbeing

confidence, as I typed that, I felt the two fingers rise, 

I'm taking daily notes on a tillrole 

to keep them in order, and to be a little eccentric ,

this is never going to evolve into a rant is it ?

Maybe next time ? a

The train coming in on Platform one will still be a Virgin.

Untill ? 

All good healthy food

                                            Byford' Glass is full of love.  
 
                                           A book given to me by the boys to accompany a pint glass
                                           inscribed with the words.    about the year  2003.
                                                                    

                                                                      Getting pissed

                                           However much booze you've been drinking,

                                           You just want a little bit more,

                                           Your head begins reeling,

                                           You stare at the ceiling,

                                           And then you throw up on the floor.

                                            NOT an accurate description of my drinking,

                                            well yes, the first four lines are about write.

 

 

How many years, How many more years of this ?

Something I created back in 2010
to express my feelings to the dismantling of my countries
Social Services and peoples future security
The ball of destruction is still swinging.

The picture was created in Photopshop using found objects from the streets
two black plastic car radiator grills, a picture frame and a sailing buoy,
also a length of rusty chain from the garden
The background is a view taken by me from Alexandra Palace 
looking east over London.

Yes! Byford gets Gold

Not a ten seconds sprint but a 

fourteen month marathon,

Its just a matter of keeping 

Dry on the cloudy days.

Easier said than done.  

We won't let it beat us

Outdoor and Indoor Water Sports.

The UK weather is never a problem the games will go on.
Just mind the cars.

Everything is relaxed at the allotment

At the Great Expectations group allotment   

The rain comes and goes 

Found in road after month long search

Come on get up !  Move your self

its a bankholiday.

No planing permission needed

                                  Stu's View,  A Byford Installation 

Some of my work old and new, the large Georgian house 

around which the works are featured is a unwanted dolls house 

dumped in the street, a coat of paint and screwed to the wall

now a ideal CD rack in the bedroom. 

The beard thats a self portrait completed a night or so ago.    

Art

Art where does it come from the hart the mind the deepest part 

of our subconscious or

can you get it straight from a tin? 

Imagining  opening tin after tin to find one you like.

Don't spill any ! 

No trickery just photographed as I stirred
Then a little balancing of light and contrast.
 

He actually shouted to me as I stirred
 I wont to-be famous. 

Just the other-side of the fence

Now with all the practice 

painting is more of a pleasure

the paint easier to manipulate.

Just wish my writing skill came easier.

Art work by Stuart Byford.

In the twilight

Started out as a acrylic painting on plywood then finished off in photoshop.
I really like how the shapes in the tree trunk turned out, lots of gremlins     

Peace and tranquillity

Some times you just need to find your own space
and it was here in the church garden today
sitting on the grass just clicking.
