I am definitely coming to the conclusion that it is time for a Lee Roy gallery. He appears to have had a little bit more free time to paint recently, and there are pieces appearing in all parts of Bristol. I often wonder what it is that creates these moments for artists, is it family circumstances, is it a job situation, mental health, affordability or inspiration that dictates the peaks and troughs in activity.

This piece in my beloved Moon Street is painted in his anti-style unruly lettering, spelling out LROY on this occasion. The dark colours give it a fairly austere appearance, and there are one or two little narratives going on – a burning candle, a stairway, the sun and stars and a face with four eyes, all stories to be told.  Gallery to come soon I hope.
