A selection of early blue work

Half of all the stars
in the sky are
binary stars.
Two stars.
Two Suns!

The Sun is our friend.
The Sun is our enemy.
By it all things grow.
By it all will be forgotten.

The earth will die
long before the Sun.

Monotonous delicious life-giving heat.

The Sun is about halfway through its life. It will expand to swallow Mercury. Then Venus. Then it will run out of fuel and simply fade away.

Right at the start of my creative life - 1980 - I saw Japanese art of a window with the sun squarely positioned in the frame. Like looking out the bars of a prison cell on a beautiful summer's Sunday. This idea stuck with me.

As a kid
I imagined
the sky held up
the Sun!
How Silly!

I spent part of my youth running around two small fishing villages in the south of the Isle of Man. I spent my days rock pooling [catching fish, crabs, seahorses, shrimp - even an octopus one time] and chasing eels in the stream that ran over the beach to the sea.

This is the magnificent golden beach I could see from my window in Port Erin. Or was it Port St. Mary?
