Paintings of Bergen in Norway


More paintings by the British artist Vincent Van B. Bergen sits on the Norwegian coast and I struggled to be captivated by it, in contrast to cities like Stavanger that have something special. Here are a few paintings designed to try and bring Bergen to life and light.

Amazing Graffiti in Merton


In an alleyway just down from where the old Nelson hospital car park was sited, is an amazing collection of graffiti or graffiti art. Not sure how long this has been there for but I have never noticed this before. Enjoy.

A number of questions are raised.

  1. Who paints this?
  2. Why do they do it?
  3. What else do they do?
  4. Should it be illegal?

St Helena Church Austerfield South Yorkshire


St Helena Chruch in Austerfield that sits on the border of South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire is a small church sitting back from the main road almost hidden by a copse of trees. Inside the church is calm and beautiful and with a lovely mellow feeling not at all at the high end of religion . In short it looks a lovely place to worship. Where however it becomes unique is that William Bradford was baptised there around 1590 and he went on to become one of the most important figures of the 17th century by virtue of becoming one of the founding Pilgrim Fathers. Travelling over in the Mayflower to New England where he became Governor of the Pilgrim Colony.

On Bank holiday monday May 5th 2014 the church hosted an excellent art exhibition by a British artist Ann Wildgust.
