Having started out in life after school I became an art teacher. Having realised I could make more money working in other areas, other industries I spent over 35 years doing other things and finding no time for art. So much so I think I even forgot I was an artist. it was after all these years my wife, who i had known for nearly 20 years, came back from a shopping trip with a cheap canvas, cheap brushes and cheap paints and said... you claim to be an artist... paint something.

so i did. when she saw it she said... you really are an artist. this caused me to get the bug again. i went out and bought better paints, better brushes and some decent canvases.
