"During the past few years since moving to South Africa I have decided to investigate my talents as an artist. Initially I was painting in oils. One of the early stages of the process was to paint vey quick watercolour sketch studies in monochrome or colour, usually both, to get a feel of how the oil was to work. This drew my attention to this tricky medium and it's beguiling characteristics and I find myself concentrating more and more on its delightful qualities.

 

Being a perfectionist, I tend to be super critical of my work but I am slowly learning that it's not about creating perfect representations but rather a study of self improvement through creating images and enjoying the journey.

 

This is a showcase of the watercolour paintings, oil paintings and sketches I have completed and a small insight into the process".
