Tell us a bit about yourself:
Hi I was a member some time back but have been ill for quite some time, anyway i am fit and well now so here i am . I have been painting for about 16 years now and still learning. From 1998 to 2002 i painted watercolours and some oils for a gallery in Yorkshire and the quickest painting to be sold their was in the window for only 6 minutes , but it only happened to that one. I am self taught watercolour artist and i also now teach raw beginners in watercolour landscape painting,and I have recently taken part in watecolour demonstrations. I am a member of the Brighouse Art Circle Yorkshire . My favorite medium is watercolours but i also paint in acrylics and oils, but nowadays it is nearly always acrylics.

Update:

I am very pleased to say that i have been accepted into the Guild of Waterways Artist.

"I just finished my Yorkie. She sure is a cute little critter. I didn't have the right colors (or wasn't successful in blending them), but I do like her anyway. It's done in Derwent Colorsoft pencil on 9 x 12" drawing pad paper. "
