Hope that this special day is joyous for all. What a wonderful end to the year. Holding peace in heart, a little anticipation and excitement for the new year ahead. Not everyone will be in warmth and safety this year as we snuggle at home. Share a thought or better still (an action) for another.

Olfactory temporal landmark cry for help
—
… I have to make a change as each beautiful 24 hours rolls forward into the next year and ‘5’ turns to ‘6’.
If I were to get candid and stand with hands in the air (or in prayer) my spiritual cry might look like this

“Okay Universe, cards on the table: I can paint a whole fragrant world into existence, but ask me to balance a budget and I dissolve like litmus in oil. I think it’s time you sent me a business partner… or at least someone who finds spreadsheets sexy.”

Or maybe like this

“Universe, darling — you’ve gifted me vision, colour, and a little chaos, but absolutely zero financial instincts. So if you’re taking requests, I think I’m ready to manifest a business partner before my receipts start unionising.”

And if they don’t work then possibly

“Here I stand, brush in hand, whispering into the cosmos: I admit it — I am a brilliant artist and a catastrophic accountant. So Universe… be a gem and send me a business partner before I start bartering scented paintings for tax advice.”

Nobody comes knocking on your window to help if they don’t know why they’re knocking. And as my first art teacher said (a colourful gay guy with a penchant for rockabilly)
“shy Bairns get nowt” that is Geordie for “don’t ask don’t get”

People keep telling me I should be bigger — that I’m holding diamonds and only showing the world a glimmer. But here I am now: clean, clear, and finally ready to shine on purpose. Change starts with me. No one is coming to save me… and honestly, that’s the best news. Because I’m finally the one stepping into my next chapter.

In this new sober life we let god unfold the next step without forcing or grinding the wheels of life like we used to. But sometimes maybe the door needs a little lubricant (scented of course) 😂

The ‘Fresh Start Effect’
—
Coined by behavioural scientists Hengchen Dai, Katherine Milkman, and Jason Riis. to describe how temporal landmarks create a sense of psychological separation from our old selves. Making us motivated to set goals and envision change.

I started these little creations in 2007 and boy have they been through some changes !! With a side eye wink and a soldering tongue in cheek I have reached a point where change has to be underfoot as I tread into January.

Every time I thought that this is the end of my scented yellow brick road (and there have been a few times in November and December) a client would write me and say something like “your work has changed my life in so many ways” or “NEVER stop doing what you’re doing” or “there’s nothing like your work on the market”.

I would just reach the point where I thought, I’ve sacrificed enough now, have to think about my future and then another comment would land. I don’t know if you believe in the Universe’s spiritual temporal landmarks or more bluntly (little pokes from God in the side) don’t give up !! tbc…..

Attraction not promotion:
—
I created “Frankly Clement” as a seasonal product but it has fast became a staple : thought I would share a little feedback….
5 fold pressed Brazilian Orange oil nestling on a gentleman’s bed of Oud and Cuban cigar.

“Something about this scent that is so moreish I can’t wait for shower time”
“Fresh zingy and so so soft”
“Your bath products don’t need a lotion, my skin feels so soft”
“This has become my new favourite”

FreeDay Noir (with Love)
—
The crazy thing is I actually never buy on this day!
If the first part of this little triptych was about stepping out of the old shadows,
and the second was a quiet nod to the way I choose to create now—
then this final piece is simply about what remains when the noise settles.

Black isn’t a retreat for me anymore.
It’s a ground. A space. A colour I return to not out of habit,
but out of intention.

In the studio today, the silence felt almost orchestral.
Brush to glass, scent in the air, and the reminder that making something by hand
will always feel like its own form of resistance.
Not against commerce—but against forgetting myself.

So here’s the third frame:
Black, again.
But this time not a mood, nor an echo,
just a place where creation keeps happening
one steady, deliberate gesture at a time.

I never want to personally look ‘back to black’, but the obsession with Black Friday seems to be the polarising topic of Western commercialism.

When I was “in the madness” I almost revelled in the infamous lyrics of Winehouse and her most prolific song. Glass in hand I would look back in morbid reflection and plan forward the things that I would never achieve.

As they say in Scotland “it’s no like that the day” and it really is not. A far cry from days past as I simply stay in the moment , which is all we really have.

How does an artist non focused on consumerism (let’s face it : you just have to look at how often I post to see that I’m quite happy with “let them come when desired”.

Rather than the endless drive for more when I was younger, I am quite happy with enough. So my way of acknowledging this monstrously pressurised day of over indulgence is to simply return to black in the only Jonathan Ward way I know.

Art.
Hand painted semi translucent black jars give the Italian glass a stylised finish. The artists way.

I never seek …. Praise. Better for it come as a surprise it means so much more that way 😊

“I like to have two body washes in the shower so I can choose which fragrance I want and I’ve not had the orange fragrance before, also I don’t know what you use but my skin used to be quite dry and had to use a moisturiser but not with your washes they are so soft , again another great product.”
