I trained as a musician but took
up painting several years ago just as a break from
music. All of my art training has been in some very
good adult education classes. My real love is water
colour although all the paintings here are oil, a
medium which I am trying to come to grips with. I
particularly enjoy painting portraits and still life
especially flowers, but since retiring to Orkney 2
years ago I am attempting more landscapes and seascapes.
