George Lund versionInscape painting
At City College we had a theme to make an instrument from found objects then paint it into a landscape or seascape. I found metal then shaped it into a kind of mandarin, then painted it into a kind of cave then used collage ( wall paper ) for the cave like background. Then painted the mandarin pointing inwards towards another dimension. Actually i looked at Dadaism and incorporated a bit of it in the painting. "Mandarin Inscape" (George Lund college 1988)
Bluebell Woods painted
At times dad would take the family to Bluebell woods about 20 mns walk from Bower Road. But as kids it felt like forever. Must have looked like Mother Duck with her ducklings waddling behind. Mum would take water in a bottle with jam sandwhices.That would be gobbled up quick. When we arrived there mum & dad would fall sleep under the warm sun. We would play hide & seek and games of jumping across the shallow river. It is now all part golf course & motorway. Times move on.(by George Lund 1980's)

One of my funky murals College 1993(George Lund)murals in Bradford Concert Hal 1993l
Originally there was 8 murals ( 10ftx6ft) on MDF ( fibre board( in the Queen's Concert Hall commissioned by the Student's Union. Half of the murals were stolen from the hall and maybe in Dublin. Managed to retrieve 4 murals and the Irish Centre in Liverpool adopted them When the centre closed they also went missing. I have a feeling that they all will be in a bar in Dublin BY George LundMulti media Bradofrd

My painting of mum& dad from superimposed photos(by:George Lund)Mum happy times
Mum's first husband died during war lorry crashed in accident He was a jypsy before the war he would go off for long spells ride the Canadian Freight Trains. Mum worked in a aircfaft factory and met Auntie Edie she introduced mum to a swarthy saucy seaman dad. After the war so called "Land Fit For Heros" Mum,dad & 5 kids moved into a 2 bed damp flat with no matresses.Mum's health deterioated and her doctor procured a house 8 Bower Road in 1951/52? the house was still damp with a coal fire but had 3 bed rooms & front/ rear gardens. Soon there was ten kids. One time we had a little pet red monkey.Given on loan from a friend of dads. It was cheeky & jumped out at us from the curtains. Bit our ears. It was asked by me i think.. if it was a boy or girl and what is it's name... thinking it was a another member of the family. But the owner took it back, it was bit traumatised by then(by:George Lund)
Mum at 21
Mum was she had that Catlin handsome looks. But got the raw end of life. After her father working on trams gambled his wages had nothing left for his family to live, she and Uncle Bill Uncle George were put into a homes. Auntie May & Uncle Jim were too young to be taken away. Mum went down South. She missed out on her childhood when she returned.. Your Great Nanny was teaching classical piano and from the fees & money borrowed from the local vicar she paid for her childen's release to return home.Before the war mum met her first husband and he was going off to Canada to ride the frieght trains. When he returned home was called up in the army in 1939. 1940 survived Dunkirk Evacuation but was mortually wounded from his meal plate when the truck on training excercise he was in overturned in narrow road in fog. Mum went to see him on his death bed " He said he never loved her" After this mum was enlisted in war work as a welder on Halifax Bomber Aircraft in Speke Liverpool. The asbestos from the fuselage caused bronchitus to mum's health that went into empthyasema ( damaging the lungs). At the factory she met Auntie Edie & she was going out with Uncle Bill ( later married) on leave from the navy so was your grandad and they went out on a foursome. I rememer mum was reminiscing about the war in 1940. She lived in a small terraced with family Jean & Irene children then by the Gasworks off Wavertree Road near to Piggy Muck Lane. Mum had been to the chippie for tea with Jean & Irene when German Bombers came over and bombed not the chippie but the Gasworks. Mum clutched her kids thinking the Gasworks would explode and ran for their lives. Fortunatley the gas had been taken out of the Gasworks and the empty Gas Storage Tank took the impact of the incendary bombs. . She married dad in 1945 i think. Becuase of his war experiences he had a nervous breakdown and was converlesing in Wales. he had an affair with a nurse there and invited her home. Mum of course wnet mad and wouldn't see him. He sent notes through us kids pleading for forgiveness. Mum relented because with 5 kids then without a breadwinner it would be a struggle to live. From Ernie to Robert mum mum was pregnant every year approx 5 years in labour. Sometimes dad would come home drunk and abuse mum. She would be on the kitchen floor crying from being physically abused. I remember this when i was a child. Only through dad working for Uncle Charlie in the fish & poultry market we got toys from Uncle Charlie for Xmas. Also fish & chickens.Then dad got a job as a Service Man(he had his band of women) in the Huntley & Palmers Biscuit Factory Huton. Myself, Ernie, Sue & Ann for a while worked there. Dad loved his women on the Biscuit Band & would do practically anything for them. In the factory he was also a Bookies Runner taking bets for the factory workers. From working late in the factory he go straight to the Bluebell Pub to drink beer with his old mates. ( it has been demolished now) Mum would go to Longview Bingo. So did I,Dorothy, Sue, Iris, Ernie, Billy sometimes. A family gathering.(by:George Lund)
Uncle Bill & ex-wife Windmill Girl 1950's
+1950%27s.jpg)
Acutally Uncle Bill's wife was an ex- Bluebell Girl and this was a form of burlesque. The girls danced naked or partly. Tragically she took her own life uncle Bill was always away at sea that he loved. (He went on the wine boats from Spain.) His daughter & son Peter & Leslie were bought up after by their grandmother.Uncle Bill ran away from home after a fight with his dad at 15 joined the navy. His family never heard from him until the 1950's. He took part in the Spanish Civil War 1936. Bewteen and during the war he was on several warships and Aircraft Carrier HMS Penelope was his last World War Two ship.
On a merchant wine boat came to Liverpool in the 50's. His mum & dad saw his ships arrival in the local Echo Newspaper. Then went to see him on his ship, he wouldn't see them. Poor Nanny Catlin hadn't seen him since before the war. I'm not sure but he contacted your nanny in the fifties. She never knew if he was alive or dead or he had married or kids in Chelsea London. He didn't like dad much and he would speak his mind being a Petty Officer in the navy. But loved mum. I remember he was speaking about his encounter with his many women. How he had met this woman in his posh voice, "I said to Gertrude marrm you have such delectable skin like a rocodiles back. May i kiss it tenderly" The woman said " Have a taste of real crocodile skin"
She had hit him over the head with her hand bag(by:George Lund)
