I like artists whose style is so unique, and their theme unwavering, that I derive a warm, comforting feeling when I see their work. Creamylines is the epitome of this. You know that you are going to get a landscape or scene with a rising or setting sun in the style of a stained-glass window, scattered with little treats and surprises along the way.

Creamylines has presented this landscape in a portrait format to fit onto the concrete column. The colour palette has stuck to blues, yellows, greens and purples and has quite a different appearance to some of his other pieces that include reds and oranges… more sombre, perhaps. Lots of hidden faces in this one and plenty of birds. There is a little clue to his approach to his art is at the bottom: ‘drawing everythings’.

Green and pleasant land

there to connect with nature

and find some meaning

  • 30 Days Wild is an initiative organised by the Wildlife Trusts. It is an annual challenge event, for those who choose to participate, to do one ‘wild’ thing a day throughout the month of June. I will try to write a nature haiku every day if I can, as my contribution to this celebration of wildlife and biodiversity. I did this back in 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.
