Up to 2003 I was an accountant, working in South East London, but I had to give up work, due to health problems.
The children had long since left the nest, and with just my wife and myself, it was time to evaluate my situation.
I really needed a hobby or pastime that would help keep me busy, purely by chance I found 2 magazines dedicated to art, and artists, and although in my early years I was never attracted to art, the magazines gave me the inspiration to purchase a small selection of materials, and have a go.
I have received no formal training at art college, I simply bought quite a few books, and with a great deal of apprehension I started to play.
I will never be a great artist, but one of the many qualities artists seem to have, is their willingness to accept novices like myself.
I paint for pleasure, and I now have approx 40 pictures, finished and part finished, and I hope that as I gain experience, and confidance, the standard of my work will improve.
Just being around acomplished artists like yourselves, makes me more determined to paint.
Thank you all for looking at my work, should you wish to purchase a piece, I guarantee to complete the order, in a timely and professional manner.
