About Me

With the support of friends and family, I have finally decided to follow my true passions in life – art and photography. I took a detour into Accounting after high school but now, some 20+ years later, I have decided to do the things that make me truly happy which are drawing in graphite and colored pencils, painting in acrylics, and photography.

Each piece I create is an expression of who I am and how I see the world. My subject matter varies depending on what has recently caught my eye, but the majority of my work encompasses nature, animals, and landscapes. I am also available for commissioned work. If there is a specific subject or art piece you are interested in seeing, please contact me directly so we can discuss it.

Hello newest Spikey! I know, a bit corny, eh, but that’s the term that has come to stick for those folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂

Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.

My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it, thrown in for good measure.

My promise to you is not to be overbearing, just a couple of posts a day, maybe 3 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.

Thanks again and hope you have a great day…

UNCLE SPIKE
