Member since Sunday 8th Jul, 2012
I have been painting and drawing since 2009. I have done courses with London Art College in landscapes, pastals, and oils, and diplomas in painting and drawing and watercolours. I particually like doing gardens, landscapes, cityscapes and coastal scenes. I would like to get better at doing people and animals. My wife and myself are looking to doing more art and craft markets in our area. I am a member of the Swindon Artists Forum and have a few paintings on display and for sale in the their shop, where 10% of proceeds from sales go towards the local hospice. My favorite artists include Monet, Turner, Constable, Van Gogh, Thomas Kinkade, and Bob Ross-whose TV show I find very informative. For me doing artwork is a very pleasant way to spend time, chill out, and to escape the pressures and stress of modern life. When I,m on holiday in Britain or abroad I like to spend some of the time looking around art galleries and museums for insparation for my work. I am always happy to accept commissions if someone wants work of a particular location or theme. All prices include post and packaging.
