28 June 2008





I received a letter from myself the other day.
What was this
Do I have another me ?
With writing habits so similee?
On opening the post it was clear
the envelope was indeed from me
via liverpool art academy,
to partake in new exhibition
"Alice in Wonderland"

I Wonder" oil on canvas 50 cm / 38 cm

You've just missed an exhibition at Gostins Arcade, Hanover Street, Liverpool by Will Simmons and myself, Peter Barker.

This painting, "All Roads" oil on canvas 40 - 30 cm, was done with an eye on an art market at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Liverpool, scheduled for June 22, 2008,
Unfortunately the wind blew across the ' piazza' and the assembled artists work was blown into the wilderness and their trestle tables were tossed asunder like chafe in the wind, by 11.30 only a few remained. Fortunately my "art" shopping trolley was not greatly affected by gods angry wrath but the whole event was a 'blow out' as it were, thanks to the chap who bought a photocopy of Octopool and to the woman who purchased the weird dockside collage with the naked roman statues with whips and to the geezer who bought my dream It's Over There. By one o clock there were perhaps 4 of us left . by 2-30 I was in the pub.

Thanks, Joey, for getting me there and to Bill for getting rid of the shopping trolley!

Will Simmons and myself have an exhibition on at Gostins Buildings, Hanover Streel, Liverpool. only on for another week or so, so you'll have to go soon or it will be to late.
