On the eleventh day of Christmas,

my true love sent to me 

Eleven paintings bollarded
Ten green bottles a standingonawall,
Nine disco balls dangling
Eight posts protruding
007 spies a spying
Six Wellies wading
Five minty rings
Four compass points
Three French cheeses
Two lunching Lovers
and a Jane Langridge in an Ash tree


"bollarded" may or my not be a word but I am going for artistic (?) licence.

They are difficult to see but they are there. There are two either side of the No Entry sign and they are small. There are more down the road but you really would to have a) bloody good eyesight and b) a BIG screen to see them; if you can they were not part of the present :-)

The Art of Bollards Project was initiated by The Colour Factory artists in 2005 to inject some colour and vitality into Winchesters drab and dreary street furniture.
The Colour Factory Artists Jenny Muncaster and Rachael Alexander began to transform everyday black and white bollards in The Square Winchester into individual works of art. Inspiration was taken from iconic paintings by artists such as Klimt, Picasso, Delaunay, Mondrian and Matisse.
With the refurbishment of The Square in 2012, The Colour Factory artists have worked on a further collection of exquisitely painted Bollards including, David Hockney, Leonardo da Vinci Henri Magritte and Jackson Pollock. The Square in Winchesters historic city centre now houses seventeen distinctive painted bollards creating an intriguing outside art gallery and continues to fascinate and amuse locals and visitors to the city.
This amazing project has been allowed to develop thanks to the kind sponsorship of local businesses and Winchester City Council.

Taken using an app on my phone, downloaded on to my machine and cropped and zoomed in a bit using PhotoShop Elements. Phew. I tried it using a wide angle lens but it was impossible for me to see/count the bollards.

Now for 12 and I need to buy some props.
