Paintings by British painter Fraser Broklehurst
glow, sometimes they are on fire, it's hard to speak about them.....
It's as if someone is shouting in complete silence, as if laughing while crying.
Ironic despair and sticky happiness. A brush directly into the heart. What?
What is that? Clean it up, clean yourselves up, calm down!
Cry cuckoo, cry okay!
Please, is it true, the thing about blackbirds? That they are black? I hope so.
People definitely say that. I don't think the forest is haunted.
Poor ghosts.
The older ones.
Images speak, they are hard to... Fire!
