40 x 48 inches 

● Sold

In a room with a view, it could be me or you

Together or maybe alone

Feeling good, bad, happy, or sad

Sitting in a room of one’s own

Life is much like a book, inside we must look

Each chapter leading us to the end

As the story is told, our journey unfolds

We meet lovers, villains, and friends

From day to day, we must listen and pray

Be grateful for each God-given breath

Read a line at a time as one day we will find

We only have one page left

That’s when the robin shall sing, the church bells will ring

Pull the sally on the end of the rope

And the gardener will know, as he weeds and he hoes

Where flowers grow there will always be hope

30 x 36 inches

● Sold

The robin doesn’t worry

About what the day may bring

He sits on the handle of the fork

And to the gardener sings

Hoping as the soil is turned

He digs up a worm or two

Let God decide, let God provide

And the robin will sing to you

20 x 24 inches

● Sold

Some hearts are full of joy and peace

Some hearts are sadly hardened,

You reap what you sow but be sure that you know

There’s always hope in a vegetable garden

Like the onion sets and runner beans,

The cauliflowers all in a row

Sweet peas and the cabbages,

Your faith in Christ can grow

So plant the seeds and water them

Dig as many holes as the old man’s dog

You will probably unearth a bone or two

And one day you’ll find God

16 x 20 inches

● Sold

I had a nice bath yesterday, my fur was all fluffy and clean

I started off this morning full of hopes and dreams

We came down to the orchard, by the old church wall

My Master was sprucing up the hives with a coat of Farrow & Ball

He had so many jobs to do, he was in a bit of a rush

As one can see there’s more paint on me than on his blooming brush

Don’t take life for granted, it can be a fickle thing

Sometimes as sweet as honey but some days the bee may sting

13 x 16 inches

● Sold

You can cut down all the flowers

But you will never stop the spring

Don’t abandon hope itself

For hope will always win

Take a leaf from this old man’s book

As he sits in the morning sun

Give no thought for tomorrow

Turn the pages one by one

10 x 12 inches

● Sold

The sun cannot shine on you every day

Sometimes you’ll get clouds and rain

Laughter, tears, hopes and fears

Suffer losses, heartfelt pain

So when the forecast is wrong

Dig deep, stay strong

If you get caught up in one of life’s showers

Remember one thing, winter’s followed by spring

Today’s seeds become tomorrow’s flowers

40 x 48 inches 

● Sold

My Master comes down to the beach

Most days of the week

I don’t know what he’s looking for

I don’t know whom he seeks

He waits and waits, anticipates

Then waits a little longer

No one comes, no one goes

Absence makes his heart grow fonder

But I’m always here to lend an ear

Day and night like the turning tides

Down by the sea he will always have me

Right here by his side

30 x 36 inches

● Sold

Like the waves on the sea

We are always to be

Sitting here I’ve realised

We’ll be husband and wife forever

There will never be goodbyes

Together we belong the two of us

Never shall we part

Wherever I am you’ll be with me

Always in my heart

24 x 28 inches

● Sold

Above the bay on a summer’s day

Breaking waves, the sound of the sea

I still pick a flower like I did as a lad

To see if she still loves me

20 x 24 inches

● Sold

My Master’s got a master

I think she’s called The Wife

He told me he loves her very much

But the sentence he got was life

She gives him lots of jobs to do

That’s the reason that he got me

Then twice a day he can get away

And walk me down by the sea

16 x 20 inches

● Sold

We like to sit here

On the end of the pier

Doing nothing but passing time

We usually stay for an hour a day

Whenever the weather is fine

I think about this, I think about that

I don’t worry much about life

What will be will be

Then we head back for tea

Home to my dearest wife

10 x 12 inches

● Sold

I’m supposed to be on a diet

But it’s causing me some strife

So we’re having ourselves a cheeky bite

Otherwise I’ll get nagged by the wife

Don’t get me wrong, we are still going strong

I love the old girl to bits

As a matter of fact, we’re a right double act

We go together like fish and chips

20 x 24 inches

● Sold

At the bottom of the garden

Beneath the blossom tree

As the day comes to an end

My old dog and me

Not in any hurry

We haven’t got time to rush

Listening to the robin’s song

The blackbird and the thrush

16 x 20 inches

● Sold

I played on this swing when I was a boy

I went as high as I could, I remember the joy

Those childhood days, oh what times I had

Given to me by my mum and my dad

They are no longer here to push me

So I can’t go quite as high

But I know that they’re both watching me

From up there in the sky

16 x 20 inches

● Sold

Year after year the daffs appear

As the short days come to an end

Spring has sprung, now warm is the sun

Together sit two old friends

13 x 16 inches

● Sold

I love it here at this time of year

After the April showers

I like to sit and think a bit

Amongst the pots of flowers

They went to sleep last winter

Then showed their heads in spring

Did you know God taught them to grow

And it didn’t cost a bloomin’ thing

40 x 48 inches

● Sold

For each sweet moment, for each sunrise

For every moment we open our eyes

For the fields of gold, for the fields of green

For the beauty around us and the things unseen

For the joy, for the peace, for the comfort you bring

For your spirit, for your love, for forgiving our sins

For listening, for caring when breaking hearts bleed

For just being there in our hour of need

32 x 40 inches

● Sold

My Master likes to chat to God

He speaks to Him every day

I like to lay down at his feet

And listen to him pray

He asks Him lots of questions

Like why are bluebells blue

What’s it like in heaven

And he asks Him to bless you

Thanks Him for watching over us

The food we have to eat

I hope he doesn’t forget to ask

For a bag of doggie treats

24 x 28 inches

● Sold

Not everyone can find their way

Along the narrow path on a summer’s day

Not everyone can see the sky

Watch the clouds just float on by

Not everyone can hear the birds

Or listen to the spoken word

But God’s grace favoured this old man

He’s feeling blessed for still he can

16 x 20 inches

● Sold

Laying here in the warmth of the sun

Thinking back to when I was a lad

I never had a lot of things

But I was loved by my mum and dad

They kept me safe, they kept me warm

Made sure that I was fed

Dad read me The Wind in the Willows

When I was tucked up in my bed

So I’ve never really worried

About the possessions I have not

I just thank the Lord for the life I’ve had

And the days that I’ve still got

Every hour that comes your way

Full of biscuits and a bone

Looking up at the night sky

Thinking about my dear old dad

A very wise man who taught me things

When I was just a lad

Never be scared of the bogeyman

Who lives underneath your bed

He’ll only come out if you’re naughty

So be careful how you tread

Don’t tell lies or your nose will grow

And a policeman will knock at the door

He’ll take away your box of toys

Then give them to the poor

Be loving, kind and generous

Always say thank you and please

He taught me about heaven when I was seven

And how God made the moon out of cheese

My old Master and me

On a bridge that crossed a stream

He prays for rain, he prays for sun

By his side his dog

He makes hay while the sun shines

With a little help from God

30 x 36 inches

As the day nears the end

Beneath the westering sun

The farmer’s busy counting sheep

His work is nearly done

And there he’ll rest his head

20 x 24 inches

● Sold

I’m always by my Master’s side

When he leans on the old farm gate

I don’t know what he’s looking for

When down the lane they roam

He tells them that he’s waiting

For the cows to come back home

20 x 24 inches

● Sold

We are down in the bottom meadow

It’s a beautiful summer’s day

I love to ride on the Fergie

When my Master’s making hay

As he goes through the gears

The wind in my ears

There’s no place I’d rather be

Then when the work’s done

We drive home in the sun

And have sausages for our tea

16 x 20 inches

● Sold

The tractor wouldn’t start today

I think it’s gone on strike

And one in the cart at the back

He leans upon the garden gate

In the barrow his dog looks on

A robin sings its familiar song

The scent of honeysuckle fills the air

Sunlight dancing on the leaves

Meadow Brown, Cabbage White

On the hollyhocks alight

Whatever path you follow

If you journey far away

Just like the summer swallow

Take some time to pray

Home is where the heart is

And you’ll return some day

Supper’s waiting on the table

Nearing the end of another year

Gone the loved ones we hold so dear

Still I miss my mum and dad

Not in a way that makes me sad

But it’s times like this I reminisce

Thinking back to my childhood bliss

Evenings around the radio

Listening to our favourite show

Hanging on the Christmas tree

A chocolate reindeer just for me

Snakes and ladders games were played

In the garden snowmen made

Life was oh so simple then

We read real books and wrote with pens

But time disappears like melting snow

Seasons come, seasons go

Memories still they linger on

Of loved ones dear that now have gone

I decided not to go

My paws now feel the cold

10 x 12 inches

I keep on trying to go to sleep

I close my eyes up tight

And then they open up again

Because Santa’s coming tonight
