I have  changed my website by uploading some of my last year’s pictures which are of a  different style and outlook. They are purely intended to be decorative with their colours, designs and movement. They hold no deep secrets of my mind, desires, or of putting the world to right.  Some however were inspired by that game I would play in my childhood days, and that was many years ago, of seeing pictures in the fireplace, those shapes of faces or animals in the glowing embers.

I give no names to my work, let the viewers make up their own mind what they are looking at; in my experience everyone sees something quite different.

I have always been a hobbyist, have not sold or tried to sell any of my works, only family or close friends have had them hanging on their walls. I have however had many of my past pictures published in art magazines in the UK and abroad. Some of these latest pictures have been professionally printed on canvass then mounted on stretchers, which is popular today. I would emphasise that this way of mounting these pictures is not a way of trying to masquerade them as oil paintings, they are created on a computer and have never seen a brush.

I would now like to market them, so if someone has any good ideas, advice or offers please contact me at philbartholomew@tiscali.co.uk thank you for looking at my website.
