The Future…

How can you plan for future without looking at the past?

This blog started as a free google blogger site. I posted mainly images from my sketch book as I developed my arty-ness. The images evolved and characters appeared. Below is a painting from a holiday to Cornwall way back in the 90’s.

I like the application of the watercolour in my early paintings. It was done without any lessons or understanding of the watercolour medium.

Today, while the drawings have changed very little, the application of paint has changed.

The 64 Million Artist – January Challenges – remind me to celebrate experimentation. Collage has appeared in my work and gained me an award from the SAA (Society for all artists) in 2022.

I had a lot of success selling cards and paintings in 2022 which has led me to start an Etsy shop and develop this more professional looking website.

This blog will surely grow, and any thing I learn will be passed on and shared on my Facebook, instagram and Youtube socials.

I welcome you to follow the journey!
