Dear Friends. Always look on the bright side of life, see the funny side of putting your shoes on the wrong feet, putting both legs into the one trouser leg, or a shirt on back to front. Funny, but difficult to accept. Yes, I have had eye ops and laser treatment but things are getting worse.
I am now using arial 18 to try to write which makes it difficult to reduce to 14 and get the size of the article correct. Photos are most difficult to see, in fact they are really a blur, but the challenge of keeping writing my Tales, keeps me going and I am sure you will understand if I make mistakes.
It would seem that there will be very little sculpture or painting now, so if you have one, hang onto it. I suppose I should try to hold an exhibition of the work that I have amassed, but I was never one for holding such, the only one being the annual cancer show that has sadly now stopped. I look at or just remember the unbelievable pleasure that I had making the pieces or doing a painting and the further pleasure I got when someone else liked something. I was and am lucky.
I feel honoured and privileged to have so many taking an interest in my Tales and in my web site; thank you.
I continue to be torn between the history of the river and my art. I now realise how much I would like to have done, and should perhaps have done. I have to accept reality. I will continue to post work done and as I experiment with what I still try to do, I shall post that. Right now I cannot see to use a camera.

Look after yourselves and stay safe.

I am pleased that th Rusty Pelican sculpture which was at the boathouse, was moved to outside our house. Why I have thought of this just now is because the news is full of Pokémon stories. I was amazed to find that the sculptue was a Pokemon stop. Dont know if it still is.

A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO A FRIEND PUT TOGETHER AN ART BOOK ABOUT MY ART CAREER. THIS WAS FOR THE ART SCHOOL WHO HAD LOST THEIR RECORDS IN FIRES. THE EXCELLENT BOOK WORKED OUT AT AROUND £60 WHICH I THOUGHT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR MY FRIENDS TO PURCHASE (THOUGH SOME DID). SO, IT HAS BEEN PUT ON MY WEB SITE FOR ANYONE TO READ. PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPITALS BUT MY KEY BOARD IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. BELOW IS THE CONNECTION AS SOME PEOPLE DID NOT NOTICE IT ON THE WEB SITE. IF YOU HAVE TIME TO READ IT, I HOPE YOU ENJOIY IT.

Read George's Art Book - Riverman Art

Kind of them (this is my Glasgow)
Rusty Pelican outside the Glasgow Humane Society House on Glasgow Green. It was created in 1986 by George Parsonage from scrap metal recovered from the nearby River Clyde. As well as being an accomplished sculptor, for more than 40 years George worked for the Glasgow Humane Society (as his father did before him) and in that time he rescued more than 1,500 people from the same river.
