Christopher English

I show the symbolic images in my paintings as a complement to the imagery evoked in my poems. Ideas for the symbolism in my art derive from my poetry. I start a painting with a combination of several images from a poem. Discovery and suggestion from my imagination emerge during the painting process and are a supplement to the poetry. The result has the intrinsic value of both poem and painting.

Biography:

I was born in 1950 in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.
My parents had six children, of which I am the second eldest. After a few years living abroad my family moved every few years to different towns within the south and
midlands of England. During my education I attended two boarding schools.
I left school in 1968 and went to train as a drawing office tracer in Leeds. I then went to
live in Harrogate again in 1970. I started work at that same time for a company of chemical
combustion engineers. I started writing poems and painting in oil colours in my spare time.
To follow my interest in painting I went to art school in the evenings. I had a lot of
encouragement from various poetry events, workshops, friends etc,
I was made redundant from work in 1985 and decided that there was no future for me in
drawing office work. I wanted to get a degree in fine art. I did a foundation course in art
at Harrogate Art College. I then went on to do a Fine Art Painting degree at Loughborough University, where I graduated in 1994. Besides exhibiting my paintings at various exhibitions, I have self published a book of my poems and paintings, which I up date. The book title is: ‘A King Rose to build a Palace.’ and is available from myself upon request.

 MARRY CHRISTMAS !!!Author: felician at 2006-12-24 09:13:22 
Hi dude!
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.Bye
