Some of my highlights
I absolutely love creating a painting and watching it grow and come to life before me as I touch paint to paper. It’s also in a way, wonderful when I am challenged with a painting that is proving difficult for me to save it from ending up in the bin and I have to push myself a bit further than just relying on my draftsman ship to get me through, each painting is another lesson learnt in some way.
