Remoaning? Looks Who Talking. Brexiteering Chutzpah!
Right, rant time. People have a nerve ever calling me a Remoaner. If anyone is moaning it is the hypocritical, whining and inflated tools who think the EU owes them a deal. Listen, my friends, wind your necks in and lose the sense of chippy entitlement because no-one forced you to leave the EU. And […]Read Post ›
The Bee Lady of Hull
Her name is Jean Bishop. She is 95 this year. She dresses up as a bee and collects money for Age UK Hull. She is indefatigable, dedicated, driven and sweet. She radiates goodness and kindness. As a little tribute, and to hone my own portraiture skills, I decided to paint her. The proceeds of the […]Read Post ›
Andrew Reid Wildman’s Mizrachi Rice
As anyone who regularly follows my blog will know I generally use it for describing my art. Of course, cooking is also an art, and it is tied closely with memory and emotion too. Food anchors us to place and time, and its consumption and in particular its preparation create within us a sense of […]Read Post ›
Day Trip to the Front Line, Sderot
It was a strange day trip. But I had to go. I had to see Sderot. Sderot is a small Israeli town on the border with Gaza, and it holds the dubious record as Israel’s most bombed population centre. It has become a very unsettling place to live, with residents suffering huge amounts of stress, […]Read Post ›
The Windmill, Hull
Near East Park in Hull is a pub beneath a windmill. East Hull holds mystery and sadness for me. Mystery for my childhood memories of Hull centre around Hammonds and Carmichaels, the Museum Quarter and the terror of the Reckitts dentist. And sadness because when my family left the area for good it was to […]Read Post ›
The Old Synagogue on Allenby
When I was a boy, and for no reason I can think of, I decided I wanted more than anything to be a Jew. As a teenager of 14 it was hard to make the necessary arrangements, and it was only in my mid-twenties that I bade farewell to my foreskin, and a fortnight later […]Read Post ›
The End of the Union….
It is important that such a calamitous mistake as hard Brexit is properly marked so that no-one later claims they were not warned of its consequences, intended or unintended. It is proper that dissent is expressed even if hopeless now, or unheeded, even if none wishes to listen, for the situation is going to deteriorate […]Read Post ›
Au Butte de Montmartre, Paris
When I was a boy I came here with my parents. I saw the street artists. Later I saw films and read stories of French artists, poor and dedicated, freezing in garrets, foregoing food to buy paint. I knew then I wanted to become an artist. This work is a little tribute to that dream. […]Read Post ›
