Picture Set Of The Month - May - The Oil Paintings Of Ray Lowry

'Two Ladies (Coach and Horses)', as pianted by Ray Lowry
in the early 1970s before he became known for the
cartoons he became famous for. He painted the Coach 
and Horses pub, a pub he no doubt frequented, several times.  

'Early Evenng', capturing two friends and a mother
 with her chidren crossing each others paths
outside the Coach and Horses in Cadishead. Early 1970s.

'Bus Stop - Manchester' as painted in the early 1970s
by Ray Lowry. A Summer street scene set in suburban Manchester.
.

'Road Sweeper' - Ray Lowry, early 1970s. I discovered
the creativity of Ray through his satirical cartoons
that punctured the pomp of the music industry,
in the New Musical Express. 

 

 

Moon Of The Month - The Flower Moon

The Flower Moon is the name given to the spring moon, 
defined by the lushness of the new growth of vegetation
after the plain times of winter become distant memories.

Farmers in there more sentimental moments
 write of the flower moon in their almanacs.

Whilst city folk, lost to the cycles of nature
 beyond the greening of their cities may look up
in their quieter moments and wonder
 at the trees and hear the  birdsong
 as the birds sing louder to hear each other 
in the parks over above the noise of the nearby city.
