ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

can't believe you stopped drawing Mannie - these are terrific. Do hope you are now inspired to continue.....as I said before we should consider a book of poetry illustrated and written by ABPA members along with the CD Bill has already produced ......we could be onto a winning combination.

They're all bloody brilliant, mate. Very impressive

That's fantastic Manfred. I love the mixed media approach of yours, the loose sort of scratchy pastel makes them really lively and glowing.

So much to do and so little time ....

Manny you need to clone yourself, one Manny for song writing, one for poetry, one for painting and a couple extra to take over when you have a hangover. Yep that'd work.

Seriously though those paintings are seriously good it is a shame that the art box is gathering dust.

Ah Leonie he does all this stuff on a diet of Vodka !!!!

Perhaps that is the secret to INSPIRATION and not rum and cola as I've always thought.

... rum and cola is for people who have to get up in the morning ...

Mannie I can see you under a tree not only busking but doing portraits. I was in Melbourne city today and there were a couple of people on the footpaths doing portraits.

This Bush Poets site is so good for Me. Not only has it shown me that I can’t write poetry or sing but also that I can’t draw either!

Goodonya Manfred.
