Hi Estelle,
I worked at an equestrian centre for a while. I'd been a design engineer, worked at a BT call centre, worked as a night porter at a posh hotel, and I was fed up with being made redundant and being messed around. I saw the horsey job at the jobcentre and rang after it. The horsey guy said can you use a shovel and carry a bucket? Yes I can, said I. You've got the job! It's the best job I'd ever had! The nearest I'd been to a horse before was watching John Wayne on the tellie, but I got on great with the horses and I had not fear at all. The money was poor and so was I, but my roses came a treat! I've had riding lessons but I would still consider myself to be a novice, albeit a very confident Novice. They're scary when they rear! I my experience there is no such thing a safe or bombproof horse. It only takes a leaf to rustle and they think it's a lion about to jump on their back!
Oh Barry! Barry Wright! Barry Wright the musician! No. Sorry. Never hear of him.
Take care Estelle,
Bob.

Who cares about dirty !!!! thats how you get to the good stuffs :-)
I still ride when I can afford to which isnt often enough. As a child I rode a great deal --chase me charlie was my favorite gymkanah event The last horse I owned was bonkers and scared of dogs. He once fell over backwards from a rear-- on the road-- because I wouldent let him cross with his friend. Sold him not so long after and baught a car.
I knew a musician called Barry Wright ( no not the famous one ) a vegan singer songwriter "The Vegtable Autonomous Collective" Any relation to you ?
Oh the studio was an artist group and was next door (I think) to the F.S. so I didnt get too distracted by the bells or hunky firemen either!!
Do you ride? Often?
Later..
Estelle

Hi Estelle,
I went to Newcastle College to do a Foundation Degree and I'm due to start the BA (top up) in September.
How did you manage to get a studio in a fire station!?! It must have been distracting with the bells and sirens going off! Ha ha!
What's your connecting with horses. Do you still ride/have your own horse/or work with horses?
Fab sketch! Is it a drawing of your horse? I don't like using charcoal 'cause not only do my hands get dirty, but it ends up on my face, clothes, and I have hands prints all over the drawing!
Take care,
Bob.

Perhaps it did work after all.... love your colours. Did you go to college in N'castle ? Its years since I was there ,used to have a studio above the fire station in the center of the city. Brilliant place,

Oh yes and horses too ! oh heck-- that didnt work did it sorry Ill try again properly soon.

Hi Robert!

Thank you for your comments. Yes, they are all on canvas and it is acrylic.
From your work, No 5 and 6 are my favorite! Is it acrylic, too?

All the best,

Maria

Hi Bob,
thank you for your compliment! I like abstract work - do you have more and larger photos somewhere - an own website? Which music inspires your work - and why doesn't music appear under your "interests"?
Best, Myriam

Hej BOB
Thank you for the kind words regarding my video works. Sorry it´s been a long time sinces I have been logged on here. But you´re asking about the humor/seriousness/personality in my videos. And yes they are very personal. I use humor and kitsch style to reach out to people, so they better can relate to the videos.
Hope that answered your question?
Thanks
Henriette
