My sculpture mad garden by moonlight

I thought I would try and take some photos on a bright moonlit night. Very difficult as I could not t see any image in my camera and just had to point and hope for the best. The body of the egret was the petrol tank of motorbike.

Egret comes home

My Egret has come come home from the Scraptors Sculpture Trail at Stourhead. There it was in a large pond. In my garden it has to make do with a smaller one. The body was the petrol tank of a motorbike.

Rainbow over my Procession

I have been adding to the Procession in my Field. An old wheelbarrow became another creature on the far left and a ventilation shaft a tall figure. I rushed out in a shower to catch the rainbow.

The Scraptor Sculpture Trail at Stourhead

The Scraptors are resting a bit after installing a sculpture trail at Stourhead, the National Trust property in Wiltshire. Above my Hercules and Serpent . The Ancient Greek Boy Wonder dispatched them from his infancy. Below The Eye a joint work with my fellow Scraptor Paul Boswell. On the tree trunk a Chameleon by Scraptor Fiona Campbell. The trail continues through September.

The Frogs mock King Heron at Stourhead

With my fellow Scraptors I have been busy installing the Beyond the Garden Gate sculpture trail at Stourhead the National Trust property in Wiltshire. This tableau refers to the Fable of Aesop in which the Frogs asked Zeus for a King. He sent a Heron but they mocked him. So Zeus sent a snake which ate them

View from my window

I have revamped my Mythological Procession and this is how it looks from my bedroom. Until June 5th 2011 my sculpture garden is open to the public in the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire.

Spider for Stourhead

I went to Stourhead the National Trust garden in Wiltshire to measure the curtains figuratively. As part of a sculpture trail I am creating with my fellow members of the Scraptors Sculpture Group to be on show throughout the month of September 2011 I will make a giant spider like the one shown here I made for a client in Sussex. It will hang between these two trees at Stourhead pictured here. There are eight metres between the two trees

Long Necked Bird

I have just completed the Long Necked Bird. Its neck is about four feet long. Busy making new stuff and improving the garden for my opening in the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire that runs from May 28th to June 5th 2011.

Spring in my field

There are sheep back in my orchard and the apples are blossoming in a very warm spring. This is my Egyptian Frieze. Sekhmet , Horus and Anubis walk in procession between pyramids.

Work in Progress on Mural

I am creating a mural which combines sculpture and painting with fellow artists Paul Boswell and Rachel Macleay in my garden. This is one section of it. It will extend about forty feet along a hut and fence. It will be on show in the open studio event of the Wylye Valley Art Trail from May 28th to June 5th 2011 in Wiltshire

Medusa reflected in a mirror

I had the idea ages ago of creating a Medusa's Head which one would see first in a mirror. You will recall that Perseus was obliged to cut her head off looking in a mirror to avoid being petrified. I have finally got round to it. This is on the door of a shed in my garden behind bushes. This and a whole lot more will be open in my sculpture mad garden for the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire from May 28th to June 5th 2011.

New gate

I have been upgrading a rather neglected part of my garden. I have made a new flower bed and made the gate from some bits of scrap iron in the skip outside a company. My garden will be open for the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire from May 28th to June 5th 2011. By then the plants will have sprouted. A lady faces a unicorn. According to mediaeval legend unicorns were very fond of ladies.

Owls Flying

On a windy day my two owls appear to be flying.

My monsters in the snow

More snow reducing the UK to shambles. All calm in my garden.

Hoar Frost

Ghastly cold but gorgeous to look at. My field in the hoar frost.

Snowed in Frog

The snow has caused chaos throughout the UK. This my frog sculpture, a metre or so high, in the snow.

Sink Face

This sink came from a nearby building site and easily became a face.
