Autumn sun

Through glass window panes

late autumn sun comforts me

warming my cold face

Another H-bomb of colour and energy from Grimes, this time in Dean Lane. He really is quite incredible, the way that he generates so much movement through his pieces, which dazzle and amaze.

The colours in this piece are warm and fiery, with so many elements, each beautifully interlocking with its neighbours. If I were to liken this work to any other artist it would be Deamz, who left Bristol some years ago now, but who also created complex graffiti writing pieces. This is praise indeed for Grimes’ work. The finishing touch of a blue plasma border is nothing short of brilliant, offsetting the warm colours with a chilly edge.

Late arrival

Absent butterflies

with warmth emerge from hiding

at last the sun shines

Whose idea was it

to decorate the kitchen

Close

Stifling and airless

recovering lungs struggling

sweaty, heavy day

Warm

Drawn to the garden

the dog, the cat and children

catching a few rays

For one day only

heat drawn from the continent

Chained to the laptop

zooming in and out of calls

warm sun shines outside

  • These days there isn’t an awful lot to cut and most of the hard work is getting rid of the hair on/in my ears, my eyebrows etc – getting old is the pits.

False dawn

 

It’ll end in tears

nature waking up early

just you mark my words.
