In March 2008 I made the suprising discovery that I had a little artistic talent which had been lying dormant all my life. I started with simple still life subjects but as time went on I progressed to more complex subjects.
The only medium I paint in is pastels which I love. They do tend to be messy but I love the immediacy of the work, involving no mixing with turps or water, just pure pigment directly applied and mixed right there on the paper.

Poppies
I painted this one last week from a photo provided by someone else. I loved the fact that I could indulge myself by using red in a picture, which I can't usually do - by virtue of the fact that I usually paint landscapes. This is 11" x 14" Pastel.
