The FA Vase is a national competition in England for the lower league teams which culminates in a Final at Wembley. Farnham Town had been favourites to beat Bridgewater United at the Memorial Ground and possibly get to the final. Alas it was not to be as they lost 1-2.

This artwork focuses on the penguin as a symbol of resilience and adaptability. Depicted in its natural habitat, the penguin embodies the beauty of survival in harsh environments. The contrasting colors of its sleek black and white feathers against the icy landscape emphasize its uniqueness. Through this piece, I aim to evoke feelings of warmth and wonder, inviting viewers to appreciate not only the penguinβs charm but also the larger themes of community and perseverance in the face of challenges.1 point -
Originally posted in the forums: Jun 11 2005, 03:44 AM So now, after about 2 weeks of practice - and with the aid of the most excellent book: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain I have come up with a couple of passable drawings. Ok, I know that my attempts at drawing are far from perfect... Life doesn't have to be perfect and neither do my attempts at art!! The main thing is that I am happy with what I produced. Not bad, eh?!! When I made the second drawing, I seemed to have gone into some kind of a "state of "flow." I completely lost all sense of time and the drawing just seemed to flow from my pencil. (Well, Faye is extremely pretty and, I suppose, it helps when you are drawing your favorite subject!!) I have tried to repeat this experience but, without that level of success. I guess that it depends on how you are feeling at the time and various other circumstances? Even my other drawings of Faye haven't come out quite so well. Anyway, this drawing has given me the encouragement that I need to keep trying... And I hope that one day, I will be able to produce great drawings at will! Time for another beer!!!1 point

Cruise ship Hanseatic Nature is moored alongside HMS Belfast in the Pool of London. Looking downstream in the Sunshine, Tower Bridge can be viewed in this busy river scene. The Hanseatic Nature is in port for 24hrs before sailing to her next destination in France en route ultimately to Seville.

On the Red Squirrel Trail just outside Shanklin, a long disused Fogmanβs Hut stands on the approach to Shanklin where the βDistantβ Signal would have stood. In foggy weather, the Fogman would place an audible explosive device called a βDetonatorβ on the rails to warn the Driver of a train they were approaching a βStop Signal.β This type of regulation ceased on the British railway network many years ago, but there are many of these old huts still standing!1 point

The Red Squirrel Trail is a cycleway and footpath on the Isle of Wight. Between Shanklin and Wroxall the path follows the old railway (which closed in 1966) before diverting away. Sadly the remaining old railway route onto the terminus in Ventnor is largely inaccessible and/or built over.1 point

The site of Wroxall Station between Shanklin and Ventnor was closed in 1966 and the railway lifted. All that remains now the bridge carrying Castle Street over the old railway and part of the Station buildings (not seen and behind the photographer).1 point

Victoria of Wight is the largest and newest Wightlink vessel on the cross Solent car ferry between Portsmouth Gunwharf and Fishbourne on the Isle o& Wight. She is seen here docking at Fishbourne on a lovely Sunny day on the 11:00 sailing from Portsmouth ready for the 12:20 crossing back.

Shortly before Sunrise, the sea of the English Channel looks a beautiful and dramatic calm.

Culver Down is a cliff at the Eastern side of the Isle of Wight. Heavy rain over the city of Portsmouth (north of Culver and across the Solent) and sunshine from the Isle of Wight creates a rainbow over the cliff.

Rain is still evident across the Solent, but all is calm across Sandown Bay looking towards Culver.

The photographer was so keen to get the picture of the Red Admiral that he failed to notice the Honey Bee sharing the experience!

Moving down onto the Esplanade on Shanklin Seafront, the Sun has now climbed higher on a beautiful morning. Sadly the beautiful morning didnβt last as heavy rain and thunder became the prevailing conditions later in the day!

A very stormy day with a Gale Force 8 wind blowing in off the English Channel (the photographer had real issues standing in the wind and stabilising the camera!) in this view above Blackgang Chine looking across to The Needles on the far Western tip Isle of Wight.

From the album: Drawings and sketches
This was a practice sketch that I made back in 2005 when I first started trying to get back into art. My inspiration was a really good book that managed to convince me that I could draw! Personally, I think that this is the one book that every aspiring artist should read, before anything else... The book is called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and, after 15 years, I would still highly recommend it.1 point -

NICE ONE! I'm sure that is an opinion MANY people can relate to. Those that can't are.... questionable people. Robert Anton Wilson has a VERY interesting take on the whole war situation... Taken from his official website: www.rawilson.com [CHECK IT OUT] "Thought for the Month Just as a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, even a Christian Fundamentalist gets a savvy notion every now and then. I think rev. Robertson had a good idea when he suggested replacing war with assassination in one case, on economic grounds. He merely didn't carry the concept far enough. I suggest that we should abolish war utterly and replace it entirely with selective assassination. Think about the savings this would mean, in this age when even our ?little? wars cost billions of dollars a year, and remember the cogent observation of the late Senator Dirkson: "A billion here, a billion there - pretty soon you're talking about REAL Money." We've already gotten our national debt so high that our posterity "unto the seventh generation" will never pay it off; do we really need to enslave the whole future to the international bankers? On the moral side, killing a few dozen foreigners a year instead of a few hundred thousand should seem less messy, to say the least of it, especially when you consider the collateral damage to our own side. How much blood and death do we need? Reversing a sentimental error of the '60s, the new anti-war slogan should be MAKE ASSASSINATIONS, NOT WARS. And, best of all, if this idea catches on internationally we can expect at least 50 contracts on George Bush the first week. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------" http://www.rawilson.com/thoughts.shtml1 point
