GAS BAGS

Why thank you Imgrid and Happy new year to you too. It’s an idea I guess but just imagine living with a burping pot plant.

I’m taking tablets for it but not improving – the imagination still runs away with me.
Many thanks Laura.

Coming from someone with your talent that is a great compliment.

Why thank you Dave. You make me blush with embarrasment….but don’t stop.

I used to think gasbags were airproof trousers.

I’m guessing at the various reasons, and as you don’t overdo the talking the that only leaves…. Remind me (verbally) to stand downwind. Thanks George and all the best for New Year.

Then I look forward to seeing your new worlds art Hidemi. Many thanks and Happy New Year to you too.

Thanks Neil. Hope you enjoyed you away trip and are all geared up for a new year – and lots more great artwork.

All the best my friend.

Thanks Dave. I can’t remember selling this one but it has vanished – possibly in the loft. The photo turned out to be too dark and with harsh tones, and my efforts to computer ‘doctor’ it didn’t work too well. All just a bit of fun anyway.

And with only a few minutes to go here may I wish you too a very happy new year Right.

Thanks Derek. After what i did to you kids in those days it’s praise indeed to get your comments. I suspect the gasbag was me, although those school dinners had some bad effects on some pupils. Thanks again for the log deer – did you get my bubblemail of thanks by the way. Incidently. what a coincidence that your dad is Albert who we had many good chats with a year or two back. Cheers Dodger.

Thanks Shalayne. I’ve just looked through your portfolio and think you’re creating some impressive artwork.

Can’t say I’ve read Jack Vance so will go have a look. Cheers Colin.

Yes, so do I. I tend to like to change subjects for a bit of variety, from cartoons to portraits to space art – but it’s that last one which keeps tempting me. Just started a new one, and I think I have about 20 on RB up to now. Cheers Boris. Incidently, one of my favourite painters is the famous Boris.

A bit of fun really but it keeps the old brain active, Thanks Margaret,

The last time i was called ‘sir’ was 20 years ago when teaching. Thanks for your encouragement Lloyd – makes me want to do more.

Much of what I do is with a sense of humour, never taking myself too seriously. I get a lot of satisfaction doing personal caricatures when I see the smiles they usually bring. Gas bags was a bit of fun, but who knows, they may exist somewhere. Cheers Les.

I’m taking pills for it – sometimes get some odd looks with these Other world paintings. Thanks again Hugh.
