“Simplistic Complexity”
“Evening Entrance to Cockburn Street – Edinburgh”
is the latest picture based on the concept of
“Simplistic Complexity”
A concept has been distilling over a number of years now.
“Evening Entrance To Cockburn Street”
– EdingburghThis concept is on the premise that we use vertical line to make sense of our surroundings and to orientate.
The colour information is distilled and the vertical lines added in high contrast.
The concept grew out of a series of painting called City Signatures which in turnt gave birth to
Edinburgh cityscapes and finally “Evening Entrance to Cockburn Street = Edinburgh” is the latest
the journey continues.
Does it have a presence ?

A visual experiment – dyslexia
Dyslexia a disability – not just different but a disability
– why? because: “They say so –
They insist that you need to conform to their perceived normality, they are the norm you are not.
– Because you see things different and deviate from the norm you have a
disability, you cannot just be different.
The following simple visual experiment to permit the “normal” the reader in experiencing the effect.
The vowels have been allocated different colours.
How easy did you find it to read?
Did your reading slow down?
Imagine having to do this every time you read a piece of text.
Disability or enhanced ability – you decide.

A Gender Mystery – Retail Therapy,
Two Pictures the gap between
A Gender Mystery – Retail Therapy,
Words That May Help.
Swinging her feet over the end of the bed she headed to the shower, after the ritual cleansing she dried her hair and slipped into a bright yellow dress with white spots.
With increasing anticipation she grabbed the collected regalia required for the spiritual experience about to occur.
The celestial journey began as she stepped out of the door.
A Gender Mystery – Retail Therapy Sylph like she glided between the aisles, as if drawn by some mystical force she moved on eyes glazed and yet somehow curiously focused.
The first stop was the seat at the cosmetic counter where she talked briefly to the high priestess of glamour, who with potions and colour heightened her radiance and lifted her self-confidence.
Uplifted, but thirsty, she headed to the watering hole for refreshment. After standing in line she ordered a skinny
latte.
Across the crowded room their eyes met , picking up her refreshment she made her way over to her fellow disciple.
Sitting down, eyes locked, watching every nuance of facial expression intently, making sure that nothing was misunderstood, they exchanged observations. Refreshed they departed to explore more aisles of pleasure,
prepared and armed with knowledge shared.
Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, steps truncated, mind started to blur, it was time, exhausted, and yet inspired by the visionary gifts
of humankind’s ingenuity. She made the journey home.
The journey ended, crossing the threshold, as many times before, now time to meditate and reflect.
Retail Therapy, – he would not understand, – the mystery and wonder of window shopping.

An embarassing exhibition – the 4 seasons
4 Paintings that formed the centre piece of a solo exhibition held in Perth Scotland
– WINTER – – SPRING – – SUMMER – – AUTUMN – The press had taken photographs, conducted interviews,
and the invitations sent out for the private viewing,
Interest had been expressed a good turnout was anticipated.
Eventually the big day arrived, the studio had provided nibbles and wine
unknowingly, the gallery had sold all four of the featured exhibits.
The buyers, in a hurry left for London with the paintings before the opening.
The exhibition went ahead with four blank spaces all rather embarrassing, but none the less a talking point.
Do you have one to share?
