This is Hector, a Texas Great Blue Heron, he was sitting patiently on the banks of Trinity in Fort Worth. There were a number of other Great Blue’s. I assume they were waiting for their Annual General Meeting to start. High on the agenda was annual fish quota and Trump’s disastrous Tariffs.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

Another of my father’s many memories and stories. This is from a time gone past in Terrace Road where I grew up. To set the scene, there is fierce storm the night before and somehow water has got into the ceiling from a hole in the roof and the following is my father’s description of what unfurled:

Tooty at twenty(read the Alt text for short story) Art and story by Alan Perry ©️2026 #alanperry #tooty #art #companion

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Begs the question, which South American Country is next? Which country has the biggest Oil reserves? Or maybe Greenland is on the radar? Or maybe Mexico? Was congressional approval sought before Putin like tactics were employed?

Boxing Day Drawings from my dad from days gone passed. Cat on Hot Slate roof - 26th Dec. 2011 (mixed media on paper) and ‘Night Flight over Swansea Bay -26th Dec 2014 (mixed media on paper) ©️Alan Perry 2025 #alanperry #welshartist #swanseaartist #poet #writer #dad #boxingday #art #welsh

This is one of my favorite pieces by my father. My father looking back at the viewer, with familiar objects on his desk, the oil lamp, the binoculars (featured in a Perkins story) and the two cats; Tooty and Cleo. The setting was our front room looking out to a stormy night over Swansea bay.

‘Prunella’ my feathered friend taking a breather while checking out whether there is anything for lunch. And in Watercolor form

Terrific

One of my dad’s many paintings of Swansea bay. Looking out across the snow covered rooftop’s of Mount Pleasant disappearing across the Sandfields and into the bay. I used to wake up as a kid, wishing for snow for Xmas to see this Scene. #Swansea #AlanPerry #Mountpleasant #Art #Painting

Came across this beautiful Watercolour painting. The artist was unknown, which is a shame. I love the way they captured the expression and the colour and rendition is superb. Just a simple painting but not, a master class in Watercolour. #cat #watercolor #watercolour #painting

There he goes again

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This came up on my Dad’s Facebook memory feed. His college day’s on a Rag Parade. They were all dressed as Spartacus (Kirk Douglas’ movie must have been popular at this time) and chained together. Dad wrote the poem below as a tribute to two of his former college friends that had passed away.

Wow - Jean E Carroll wins against Trumps appeal. Not only does Trump owe Jean E Carroll over $83 million dollars in Damages - it is official the ruling that Donald Trump is guilty of sexual assault still stands. The only President of the United States also guilty of sexually assaulting a woman.

My Dad Posted this years ago. Every now and again I come across his post that strikes a chord in my memory. Dad was a great swimmer, he always had this knack of being able to lie prone still and just float effortessly. We would look on with envy. #Dad #Poetry #welshpoet #welshartist #AlanPerry

A few additional amendments now the paint is dry (new vs original). I wanted the flowers to be more prominent and more detail in the foreground. As well as adding yellow flowers across the field. #art #painting #oilpainting #fwart #fwpainter #oilpaints #pleinair #pleinairpainting #©️2025 #benbrook

Historic Fort Worth had their open gardens event today. 6 properties in Fort Worth opened their doors/gardens for the paying public to see. I was one of the designated artists attending and painted this 20x24” oil painting. #historicfortworth #painting #art #oilpainting #pleinairpainting #fwartist
