Derek Kay's Online Gallery. Watercolour and acrylic original painting.

Derek has always had a love of art, although basically self taught he has attended numerous art societies and evening classes over the years biulding on a natural ability to draw and paint from a very early age as and when family life and work allowed it. Now with a grown up family and a career in construction behind him he has the time to feed his passion.

Working mainly in watercolour and acrylics and occaisonaly oils his works can range from quite small studies to wall filling landscapes.

"Quite frankly I like to paint anything that takes my eye, sometimes from photographs but usually this involves rustic or working scenes discovered on my travels around the countryside and coasts of Britain. I am more likely to paint a scene that I think has the right character rather than a scene that may be percieved to be beautiful!"
