And now it’s fences
I have an area at the bottom of my garden that I want to screen and also brighten up so I bought two panels of 2M x 4M bamboo along with some metal posts to keep them in place. So … Continue reading And now it’s fences

Patio #3 or ‘Your Mum Does the Washing’
Titled after Joshua Idehan’s track available here. There have been so many disruptions in recent days, I managed to make a painting without posting a single image along the way. This is a retrospective post. I’ve very rarely, if ever, … Continue reading Patio #3 or ‘Your Mum Does the Washing’
Shadow Army #2
After mucking up the muses by over-working them (https://strayfisharts.com/2025/04/06/shadow-army/) I took another run at the shadows today.

Bungee spider
I was encouraged by one of my tutors to try Proceate which may have become one of his greatest regrets as I discovered its video function. This is a stop-motion spider. (c) SCH 2025 Continue reading Bungee spider
Khushbu leaf tunnel
A simple photo glitched and animated in PhotoDirector. I walk this path almost every day and the tunnel is different each time as the light shifts around and the foliage burgeons then drops. And it’s full of chattering birds. (c) … Continue reading Khushbu leaf tunnel
Bigger than us
I posted the painting earlier. This is the video layer made for AR but because I suspect it works best on a larger screen than most phones can offer it’s here in its own right. (c) SCH 2025 Continue reading Bigger than us
Why we need space travel
This is part of the NEO (near-earth object) series. In this case, I used a photo to imagine the early atmospheric and gravitational disturbances an NEO might produce. Disclaimer: my knowledge comes mostly from science fiction, much of which is … Continue reading Why we need space travel
