Feel the light
intensifying
from here on
for a while
revitalising my soul
and making my day.

To hope against hope
is an unhappy pursuit
which will end in tears.

Reaching for the stars
is as much as minions
can ever hope for.

Sea of vibrant pink
powerful message of hope;
run to beat cancer.

There is little one
can say or do, nothing seems

Azure blue heaven
fills my heart with hope, lately
in such short supply.

The ‘paint Jam’ organised on 8 April coincided with a beautiful and sunny Spring day. Unfortunately, there were not as many artists as one might have hoped for, but it was all a bit last-minute, so any turn out was good.

I came across an artist I had not met before, but whose work has recently been creeping onto my radar…Sirens. I stopped and chatted for a while with this really interesting artist, who likes to grab people’s attention in places where they least expect it. He has been working with painting on plastic sheeting suspended between trees in local woodlands, drawing attention to his ideas in unusual places.

Much of his work contains an environmental theme and messages, contrasting beauty with urban landscapes. This piece ‘head for hope’ reminds me a little of the scene in the Terry Gilliam film ‘Brazil’ where the car drives along a road with high walls, beyond which is beautiful countryside. Look out for more from Sirens here.

We live in dark times
Where self-interest Trumps all
And hope is suppressed.

Now I’m motoring
got the bit between my teeth
nothing can stop me.

Come Spring and banish
these long nights and impotent
days. Bring me succour.
