Landscape – Natural adventures

7580. Mina Road (16)

Nice One, Mina Road, Bristol, March 2026

When I drove past this piece for the first time, I performed a monumental double-take. One of those ones when you lose control of your driving for a split second, before pulling yourself together. Such is the power and allure of Nice One’s landscapes.

Nice One has successfully brought edgy fine art to our streets. He isn’t an artist who falls for the trappings of high-end commissions, but expresses himself freely and without conditions. There are so many influences that I can see in this dreamy landscape such as Cezanne. The piece is beautifully balanced with wildflowers in the foreground on the left, and a village clinging to the hillside on the right, with a river valley running through the middle. The piece is given additional drama with a lively sky overhead. A truly excellent piece by Nice One. Bravo!

7578. M32 roundabout J3 (760)

Conrico, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I have already said several times this year that Conrico is on fire, and with this piece he continues to confirm my assertion. I believe that this gorgeous landscape piece was painted as part of a collaboration paint jam to celebrate Kid Crayon’s birthday.

There is a calmness about this view, and a sense of early spring created by the presence of meadow flowers and tree blossom, most likely reflecting a Japanese landscape, with a small hut or temple in the foreground. The brush-stroke quality of the piece which has a little bit of Monet about it. Superb work from Conrico.

7576. Brunel Way (353)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, March 2026

As pieces go, this one by Creamylines, is on the small side. It is painted on a column under Brunel Way, but even at this size it packs quite a punch. 2026 has definitely been a bumper year so far from Creamylines, who appears to have come out of his shell a bit, and is painting new character pieces as well as his ‘stained-glass’ effect pieces like this one in more places around the city.

Everything that is fun about Creamylines’ work is crammed into this small space; the sun, the birds, figures, hills, trees and eyes. It is all here squished together into a coherent landscape. Such wonderful and uplifting work.

7513. M32 Spot (216)

Creamylines, M32 Spot, Bristol, February 2026

There is no stopping Creamylines at the moment, he is without doubt the most productive street artist in Bristol at this time, and he has hit a purple patch at a time when many other artists are only just awakening from their winter slumbers.

This is an awesome example of Creamylines’ work, with a huge sun drawing the eye in. There is so much positivity in this piece, forever making connections between people and our environment. His style, variously describes as ‘patchwork quilt’ or ‘stained-glass window’ is quite unique and puts him in a category all of his own. There is so much to like about this, and searching out all the different hidden components is a fun experience. Keep it up!

7506. Purdown (102)

Creamylines, Purdown, Bristol, February 2026

Another day and another wonderful piece from Creamylines, an artist who has been knocking it out of the park recently. Unlike most artists in Bristol, Creamylines tends to paint solo, and maybe that’s just how he likes it. It would be interesting, one day, to see him collaborate with others, it could bring about some exciting outcomes.

The central element of this composition is a friendly snail carrying the landscape narrative on its back, and that landscape contains the smorgasbord of sun, birds, hills, ponds, faces, figures and abundant nature that we might expect. Charming and full of the good things in life, I am so much enjoying Creamylines’ purple patch.

7503. Stapleton Road

Nice One, Stapleton Road, Bristol, February 2026

I think that I may have mentioned before that Nice One has taken to this particular hoarding and made it his own. He has painted a series of wonderful landscape and nature pieces here, that feels like a rolling gallery of his work and talent.

This is actually an augmentation of his previous winter scene, with the addition of larger ‘Nice One’ letters in purple and a fiery skyscape. I am a huge fan of his work, and always get excited when I find it. Nice One possesses that rare combination of artistic talent, originality and edge, which makes his work so compelling.

Creamylines is having something of a purple patch both in terms of quality and quantity of his pieces. This is one of two that I found up at Purdown on a recent dog walk, and I can’t tell you how pleased I was to see them.

There is an unbridled sense of optimism in Creamylines’ work that taps into the essentials of our existence – sunshine, landscapes, nature and people, stripping things back to core values and experiences as humans. This gorgeous piece is less busy than some of his works, allowing our eyes time to alight on some of the details. I love the watercourse at the bottom of the piece, and some of the faces peering in. Thank you Creamylines for making the world a brighter place.

7466. Cumberland Basin

Creamylines, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, February 2026

Such is the low turnover of street artwork at the moment, I get very excited by any new piece I find, with most of my visits to the usual spots yielding precious little. Naturally, finding this cracker by Creamylines made my day recently.

I am very fond of this little recess and there have been many lovely pieces painted here, so it is fitting that Creamylines should adopt it. All that we would expect to see from the artist is here, and I would like to credit Suzette with her description of his work as being “like a vintage quilt”, which I thought most fitting. I have a feeling that someone has added some sun rays, which slightly disrupt the piece… I would be surprised if it was a Creamylines addition. Uplifting work.

7465. River Avon (111)

Creamylines, River Avon, Bristol, September 2025

Going through my archive, I found this beauty by Creamylines, which I photographed last September. I don’t quite understand how this one slipped through the cracks, as I like to post every piece of his that I find… but it did, so I am posting it now.

The theme is what I’d expect to see; The sun, some clouds, a landscape, this time with mountains and a number of figures, faces and eyes scattered throughout the piece. There is joy and humour here, and a connection with our landscape that is most potent. Creamylines’ pieces are a wonderful distraction from the urban grind of everyday life. Thank you Creamylines.

7418. Belle Vue Road

Cock Dicks, Belle Vue Road, Bristol, January 2026

I don’t visit this little corner of Bristol all that often, so it was great to ‘find’ this lovely mural, which has been a spot for less formal street art in the past, by Cock Dicks. It looks like Cock Dicks didn’t have a ladder, but in a way the ‘grass height’ of the piece works rather well beneath the large expanse of green on the wall.

The cartoon-style magnified landscape is beautifully laid out, and the flowers and insects all have rather sleepy faces. I particularly like the dandelions, which have been beautifully observed, and the one on the right being bald but for three remaining seed heads. This is a lovely piece that, without doubt, brightens up these residential streets.
