I'm attracted by beautiful things such as flowers and landscapes. These are particularly appealing when the light catching them is just right. For me, the more colourful a subject is, the more likely it is that I'll want to paint it.
I started to paint about 35 years ago, after teaching science for several years. My previous experience encouraged me to experiment in this new arena, so I have worked with most media and on a variety of supports.
Painting in front of the subject is my preferred approach, so I often use subjects in my garden or in other gardens open to the public. I am an exhibiting member of Guildford and Farnham Art Societies with whom I exhibit and I also sell paintings with AppArt at their Easter exhibitions near Godalming. Though I don't have a website, I do display some paintings on other sites, which Google can find if you are interested.
