13. Hotwell Road, Esso garage
I took a stroll yesterday along the Hotwell Road and found these two murals. I hadn’t seen the fish at first, you can see it is just to the top right of the film mural.
I don’t know the artists of either of these. I think the fish has been there a while, but the rather more colourful film mural is dated 2015, and signed AC with a little ammonite icon. If you know the artists please post a reply.
UPDATE – it should have been obvious to me, but I have learned a great deal since this early post. The AC stands for Andy Council, who is one of the better known muralists in Bristol – his works can be found all over the city.
I love the fish. It feels like there should be more, but that appears to be it.
I like being surprised by finding more than you are looking for.

I can’t dig with my
pen as Seamus does with his.
I’ll dig potatoes.

Inspired by Seamus Heaney’s beautiful poem ‘Digging’ which I read as a child. I love the metaphor. I love the poem.

Blackberry Sunday;
while I dig the potatoes,
they have all the fun.

Haven for worn legs,

Fear
Autumn’s chill now claws
at my heart, tugging away
Summer’s memories.

Van Goughian splash
gathering red, green and gold;

Mid life
Reflected skyscapes,
distortions of waking dreams,
muddled horizons.

Almost invisible
Standing out alone
in understated grandeur.
Most will walk on by.
