I live in Northumberland, England, with my wife and our adult daughter and son.
Here is some of my son’s music with his band Eternal Hobo
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 :)).

Martin Derksema commented on one of my pictures by saying, “drawing is some sort of meditation for you” ... he is correct!
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

Those little tadpoles made of ink
We sew not, neither do we spin, / We sleep and eat and poo
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.
If you are a coloured pencil artist I haven’t discoverd yet, please make yourself known to me and I will try to include you here.
there are two kinds of artist … those who sometimes use photos and admit it and those who sometimes use photos but don’t admit it.
Soaking in a bath of hot soapy water is often a time of inspiration and a source of many “Eureka” moments.
