Close

First of all i am going to apologise for the awfull
photographic quality of these images, i have no money for a decent camera, so nasty, grainy, grey-ish photos shall have to do, untill i stumble across a Leprechaun (the hunt has begun) or get adopted by a million heir and then can afford a good camera. but bad quality pictures are better than no pictures right?
Well here they are anyway!!



This is where i have lived since the age of about 2 or 3 and the opening sampling of Lost by Neurosis did get me thinking, most of my powerfull childhood memories are based in this part of the village i grew up in, well i supose im still growing up but do we ever stop growing and evolving to an extent? Well thats besides the point i guess.
Here are some of my paintings and drawings of the place :)

All four are fantastic works. Thank you for sharing them. I like the simplicity in the forms and your colors. Sometimes it helps to take a photo in daylight, natural outdoor light, but I am sure you already know this. Good luck getting adopted by a million heir or finding that Leprechaun. :-)
