7668. Cumberland Basin
Sled one, a self-confessed fair weather painter, has been getting going this spring with some beauties, including this outstanding piece as part of a small collaboration on the long wall at Cumberland Basin.
I suspect that this piece is a celebration of spring itself, with a cartoon sun playing a wind instrument from which a flower is emerging. Some stylised clouds round off the scene perfectly. It is incredible to think that most of Sled One’s work is painted without sketches, just straight off the top of his head. An extraordinary talent. More to come soon.

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!

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.

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.

It somehow feels right to be celebrating Christmas Eve with this uplifting piece from Creamylines. The artist has had a great year and finding this piece on a rare visit to the Bristol to Bath cycle path gallery felt right and proper.
The piece is larger and wider than most of his other pieces, but contains all the usual themes, ideas and style. The introduction of a character to the top right of the piece could indicate an additional direction for Creamylines, although his work is so unique, I don’t think it needs to change for the sake of it.
