I am a late starter, having painted my first ever picture at 62, when given a lesson in silk painting as part of a christmas present, and i found a hobby i am absolutely delighted with, i am just imerging into a more rounded artist with my own identity and style of painting, i use, soft pastel, inktense pencil, watercolour, gouche, acrylic,pastel pencil, graphic encil, charcoal, and watersoluable oils, (in other words give me the medium and I will try my hand at any medium, I am constantly drawing or painting, driving my othr half mad, sometimes. I do not always follow the middle of the road, but find inspiration in many different ways, I also use my own photographs.
