Flying Bed. It's clearly a suggestion that sex can be uplifting, though admittedly not always. I had 6 notifications, but just want to do 3 posts this morning. May go to Peterborough later. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Australia. I have never been and probably never will visit. I guess 2020 had severe wildfires? I cannot remember, but it has become universally applicable now. Egg and bacon sandwich for tea I think. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #drawing #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Glass Mountain. This world is going to hell in a handcart. There is only ONE issue, and that is climate change, but the stupid powers that be bicker over everything else. the band playing as the ship sinks! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #metaphorsaplenty

Jan 2020. Approaching Rain. predictive image, almost. Today is going to be bad. I feel it in my bones. How the hell does anyone get through the days? But we do Miraculous. #theferrisfiles #drawing #mixedmedia #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Blank. The keyboard seems to have developed a mind of its own, doubling letters sometimes, omitting at others. the world si so perfect. This really is an image of Joe Public. Sad but true. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #metaphorsaplenty

Babel. Not sure why I shouldm but will give you 3 pics today. Need to fit an hour or more in per day of my new discovery: Lingopie. Not perfect, but it stretches me. Now they are talking about entrance charge for London museums! #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration

Bushfire. 6 years before the planet caught fire. I have contacted Teacher pensions hoping a movement after almost 3 years, but not a peep. They are a bunch of [redacted]! I need the money to emigrate. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration

Away in a Manger. I had a very religiouss upbringing, and school had its own chapel. I rejected all that long ago. The church was good for my mother, and my ister is a vicar. #theferrisfiles #drawing #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Blowpipe Boy. Part of the focus on the hero twins in Mayan mythology. Mexico seems such a long time ago now. It was 1982. Lee's funeral on Thursday made me think. He was only 39. Sad. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Reconstruction. You're only getting one post today, as there's a dearth of notifications. My goodness, what a shallow type of interractor. Huge amounts of sorting out the house today. A mountain to climb! #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Australia 2. Rare for me to do the multiple same-title gig. The computer just had a meltdown, printing an unending string of i's! I love this world and all that's in it! This pic is more agitated. #theferrisfiles #drawing #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

A Little Rough. Another painting rejected by the Royal Academy. I should wear it as a badge of courage! Would like to consign it to the LGBT+ Museum at King's Cross, along with he last copy of my hopeless book? #theferrisfiles #oilpainting #metaphorsaplenty #nostalgia #frustration

Reflecting Pool. Did this in 2020. Predictive imaging? Now X has a new 'prob;em,' demanding a phone number to cancel the total number of an action made in one day! Hacked, or just another piece of sh*t? #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Explosion 1. As with the previous post. Acrylic and gel on canvas board. Wonder if the person who came to look yesterday will take the room? Fingers crossed; I'm getting desperate. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration

Last one this morning. Not sure what my vade mecum is when it comes to photography: sometimes people, sometimes abstraction, colour, urban blight. Depends. Perhaps it's all of them? #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #italy #photography

Charon - sketch. Only posting one today. Far too busy. Retirement is supposed to be a time to ind down and relax. Yeah, right! But at least the exhaustion helps with deeper sleep! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia #mycottenham

Flags at Night. Both sides, somewhat mixed up. At least politicians are beginning to say that Westminster is finished. Let's hope so; they are making such a pig's lug of it! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #acrylicpainting #mycottenham #frustration

End of the World. Got 740 views on TikTok for a 'Revealing my Art' post. Got 8 likes on here yesterday. Feel I am so close to making it. 3 chocolate biscuits now for second breakfast! #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #frustration

Some planets. Done in conjunction with the installation project, to show the kids as exemplar. Nice nap and now the 'round things' are being delivered! I collect junk. Ostensibly as teaching-aids. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #metaphorsaplenty

Freudian Slippage. Have to finish the marathon rearranging of the house and garage to accommodate the new lodger. And my hands hurt badly this morning. The world is not my friend today. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

The Angel of Mons, oil paint on an old door. Thanks Ann for the gift. I exhibited this in a church in Chesterton. Someone asked why the anatomy wasn't right? It was made from photos, so... #theferrisfiles #oilpainting #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #nostalgia

Jachim-Boaz and Boaz-Jachim. Russell Hoban is underrated still. I realised of late that EVERYTHING I do is about art. Yes, I know that sounds pretentious, but it is NOT. Lunch with A tomorrow. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Boy From Above. Anton modelled for me. Lodger still in bed. Wish I could do that! Retirement is almost as hard as working. That rather surprised me. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham
