First, a most important link to my ‘partner in crime’ here Milly Reynolds and here Milly’s Website who produces crime fiction and other genres.
As for me, I’ve been an artist for many years, painting mainly in oil and mixed media.
I am a wordsmith who writes poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
I am also a consultant astrologer and have been studying the subject for over 30 years. Take a look at my website leofwineastrologer.com. Leofwine Tanner Astrological Consultant
Astrology is the oldest science. It’s based on the idea that the condition of the luminaries in the firmament above us reflect our mundane world below: As above, so below.
The zodiacal positions of the sun, moon and planets at our birth set the tone for our lives. Nothing is definite, the future is not known; yet the luminaries are indicators of our make up as individuals, the potential we were born with and how this might be best utilised in our lives.
To create your own personalised report, I need the time (as accurate as possible, to five minutes), date and place of your birth. If the exact time of birth is not known, I will set the chart for midday on the day of birth. With this information I can give you a personalised birth chart and a fifteen hundred plus words report sent to you via email.
I cannot predict the future, I don’t believe that’s possible but I can give you insights to your inner nature, your potential and perhaps make out a clearer course for the future.
These reports makes an unusual and enlightening gift.

Thank you! Yes, like your name, I think blue and green are the dominant colours of England, but of course, so much of it has been spoilt. Even so, what remains is often magical and historic. Thank you for looking and commenting, I’m very grateful.

Mr. Barker I think you’re a very talented artist. The play of light, the impressionism. Very surreal, captivating.
I liked your Driftwood poem as well. Takes courage to shake off the sand and become driftwood.
By the way, there’s a problem with your profile. I tried to make it to your page from mine, and it wouldn’t let me. Said it was deleted. Might wanna look into it.
Anyways, I can agree with you about creativity. I feel it emanates from the same source as well, though I’m primarily a writer. Call it god, or the collective unconscious, or whatever.
Good to know ya.

I have enjoyed looking at your paintings on the websites you have listed on this page. You captured the cold, mistiness of the sea very well in the painting ‘Mysterious Boats’. I liked the energy of the paintings ‘Abstract Seascape’, ‘River of Daisies’ and ‘Into the Wild Wood’. I admired your words about being willing to experiment, trying to push the limits of your natural caution.
