I can’t believe that this is only the fourth post from this charming spot on the Bristol to Bath cycle path. A place which showcases original art by people of all ages and abilities for the benefit of the local community… an urban treasure trove for those who like to explore and discover.

I have featured several pieces by Creamylines this year, but this is a mini version of his imaginative creations, probably created with Posca pens or something similar, rather than spray cans. There is an element of hope and optimism in Creamylines’ work that offers something of an antidote to the constant onslaught of bad news, and I applaud him for it. There is also an ecclesiastical feel to his work, probably associations with the sun and its rays and the stained-glass appearance. Nice to see this one in this open-air free gallery.

By the time you read this I will be wetting a line on the south coast of Cornwall not far from Fowey, and this post is short because I need to get up, have breakfast and prepare my fishing gear that hasn’t seen any action for a long while.

Creamylines hit this spot hard about three weeks ago, and this is the second of his pieces from that session. Painted in the naive style, this piece is another landscape piece filled with hills and people and topped off with a classic sun and sun-rays painted the way we used to paint them in School. You might also spot a couple of concealed faces too. Great work and so different to what we are used to seeing.

It is interesting how some artists simply appear out of nowhere, without warning. Sometimes you get to watch an artist from the start, working on their style and developing their skills, but at other times a fully ‘up to speed’ artist just starts painting, either a visitor to Bristol or a recent mover to the city.

Creamylines is one of those ‘just appeared’ artists, and three new pieces under the M32 and another one in Easton are there for all to enjoy. His style is so very different from anything else we have in Bristol, and you can see how he goes about his work in this Instagram post on the artist’s thread. It is a privilege to welcome him to the Bristol scene.
