An amateur artist, I've been painting consistently for the past 17 years. Although I have sold a few pieces and have had some commissions, I paint mainly for the pleasure of doing so - 'my mindfulness' time as I call it. I enjoy using a variety of media including watercolours, pastels and acrylics (inks and paint). I am always looking to learn and develop my skills and welcome different challenges. My main painting topic areas are usually the natural world and /or animal based but I would like to develop a much looser style of painting. I have only ever completed one fairly portrait (sketch) of a miner as portraiture hasn't overly appealed to me - proably because I lack a lot of skills in this area! However, having enjoyed one of Carne's online workshops I felt compelled to tackle this subject matter - it's abstractedness really appealed to me and I'm looking forward to producing what I hope will be a decent piece of work!
