6705. M32 Cycle path (279)
One of the most elusive artists in Bristol is Creamylines, probably due to the infrequency of his work. I haven’t yet met him, the chances of bumping in to him while he is painting is minimal, and that is a pity, because I’d love to tell him how much I admire his work.
There is always a sense of joy and optimism in Creamylines’ creations that momentarily transports one away from the troubles of daily life. His pieces resemble stained-glass windows in the way that they are segmented, with black lines separating each of the small ‘panels’ of artwork. The landscape scene takes us from the sea through hills and mountains ending with a bright sun and birds in the sky. It is almost heavenly. People and eyes are scattered throughout the piece, perhaps demonstrating our interdependence with our surroundings. How much I would love to see more of Creamylines’ uplifting work.

5853. Brunel Way (257)
From the first time I saw his work, I have always liked the originality shown by Creamylines, and finding this piece on one of the columns under Brunel Way recently was a special surprise. There is a basic formula to many of Creamylines’ pieces that includes a sun with rays sitting over a landscape scene divided up by black lines.
I am always reminded of stained-glass windows when I see these pieces, for obvious reasons, and there is a calm, tranquil quality to the work – you can almost hear the cries of seagulls in the air. Another aspect of this piece is the suggested faces that emerge through the piece, adding another layer of interest. A great column piece from Creamylines.
