painting
favourite of mine done as test of my skills
I live in the UK and like painting water colour pictures as an amateur artist.
I was brought up in Melton Mowbray, In my employment years I worked in Melton, Nottingham, Manchester and Wrexham. Now retired I now live in Oxfordshire. 
 I met my wife in Manchester and we have two sons and six grandchildren.
Most often I take a photo and then sketch  from that before painting. If I have time I will make a quick painting outside but photograph the scene as well so that when I get home I can make a proper job.
I attend a U3A art group in Swindon twice a month which inspires me to keep trying. Alas with Covid-19 I was prevented from attending but have now recommenced.
Another inspiration is books by the likes of Terry Harrison which provide step by step guides to painting watercolour pictures. I also like watching Sky Arts portrait and landscape programmes.
This is a gallery of some of my paintings
