I miei interessi
at present painting but am trying to work up motivation to get my life back on track. Hopefully start up a business but suffering from menta blockages.
Mi piace:
Family, pets particularly dogs, sunshine, open spaces and quiet times to reflect .
Detesto:
Pessimism, generally politicians and Brussel sprouts
I miei hobby:
painting, reading good books whatever they might be. Dog training. Trying to be creative.
Il mio artista preferito:
definitely Vincent.
I miei libri preferiti sull'arte:
those with illustrations
Il mio lavoro
Le mie opere:
Most times too conservative and tend to be influenced by what others say. Having had no formal trainind every new painting is a road to discovery. Perhaps one day Ill shake off the shackles and push myself to the limit.
Il mio stile:
Happiest when using a lot of paint and working fast.
La mia idea:
To produce works worthy of fair comment and hopefully sell some on a regular basis.
I materiali con cui lavoro:
oil on canvas.
I materiali che prediligo:
definitely oil based oils. Have just experimented with water based oils but we are not on the same wave length- just can't get them to do what I want them to do.
Le mie muse ispiratrici:
Art as a means to be reunited with my family.
La mia opera preferita e il motivo:
The various boots painted by Van Goch- perhaps I have a fetish about feet.
Il mio messaggio:
That someday we wil reach 95 percent harmony. 100 percent would be asking too much.
