First of all, may I thank Andrea Verstegen for the above portrait of me …
... and may I also thank LTScribble for her wonderful pencil portrait of me too:
My name is Dave Edwards and I also call myself BLYTHART and BLYTHPHOTO.
Here is a photo of me when I was slightly younger :)

I live in Northumberland, England, with my wife and our adult daughter and son.
I really appreciate it when people read my writings and Journal entries and leave comments and I doubly appreciate it when people put my work into their Favourites list, as that’s how I decide whether I leave pictures in my portfolio :)).

I believe we are never too old to learn, so if anyone has any tips they think may be helpful, feel free to pass them on. We are all here to help each other in any way we can.
Martin Derksema commented on one of my pictures by saying, “drawing is some sort of meditation for you” ... he is correct!
“As far as I’m concerned a painting speaks for itself.” (Pablo Picasso)
Style should be like a coat you put on when you want to … but it should never become a strait jacket you can’t escape from (Dave Edwards – 20th January 2008)

FLOWER-POWER BY DAVE EDWARDS

—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--
LIKE MANY PEOPLE ON REDBUBBLE I LOVE CATS
MITCH AND MAO
We are two little pussycats,
Our names are Mitch and Mao,
We’re really rather haughty;
In our presence you must bow.
Our humans truly love us,
They cater to our needs.
We humour them with mewings
And purr when we get feeds.
We sleep upon their duvets
And scratch upon their door
And one of us leaves lots of fluff
Upon their nice clean floor.
We sew not, neither do we spin,
We sleep and eat and poo
And once week, if in the mood,
We catch a mouse or two.
Dave Edwards – 2009

If anyone wishes to base a painting on one of my photographs (from my Blythphoto Bubble), they can do that too. I only ask that they seek permission first and incorporate my name in the description box. For example, “this painting is based on a photo by Dave Edwards”.
No-one however is allowed to:
1. Steal one of my images.
2. Replacemy name with theirs.

On one occasion he leapt over a five-barred gate with a young woman 115 pound in weight under his arm!

Why can’t we honestly say, “Here is a painting I did. I have done my best and I do hope you like it.”
Most of the lengthy sermons went over my little head and I spent a lot of time admiring the stained-glass windows
I am sure you will agree that it would have been a shame if I’d destroyed those little sketches.
As I grow older though, I am accepting that instead of wishing and hoping for skills I do not have, maybe I should be learning how to make the most of what skills I do have.
