This
week's Legendary Art is "Flying High" and personifies the glass structures
of "The City" and the bird personifies "the freedom of the individual". The
River suggests that things come and go - tides come in, tides go out.
Things pass and this brings into focus the Bird. Individuals come and
go in their opportunism and desires as well so there is a true
amalgamation of the facets of the picture. We
passed the towering glass monument to the freewheeling unbridled
expansion of the 90's many times in our walks around London and it was
an obvious subject to respond to in paint, being so much part of the
City. We have always liked to sit drinking coffee by the riverside and
watch the building because
we were thinking global long before bankers created their own
interpretation of the word, which was decidedly not our own meaning of
the word and consequently we feel a small part of it, yet not - being
freedom-loving individuals and beyond being tied down to the strictures
of such as the City. Perhaps more in keeping with the Seagull! The City
of London is beautiful, full of marvelous and very original
architecture and there is nothing quite like relaxing over a cup of
coffee in Hays Galleria for instance and really looking at it. We live
in Church Stretton in Shropshire's rural idyl at the beginning of what
is left of Watling Street, an old Roman
Road, straight and true, which ends near St. Paul's in London - very
historic and somewhere else we like to contemplate upon. A trip to
3London
isn't dull and becomes more dramatic as one thinks upon old and new,
past, present and future. I used to work in the City many years ago and
the changes since then have been dramatic - both good and bad. If you
ever go to
the City see what it conjures up for you. Meanwhile, peruse our website
and let us know what you think of our series of pictures on London. A
book of these pictures is in the pipeline and I think they are truly
individual, the individuality of the Artist who knows it "inside out
and back" and full of characteristaion, which is what you'd expect from
an Artist known for that skill. They are legendary pieces, being
of legendary and iconic subject matter. Enjoy!
