I'm a self taught painter in oils and watercolours.....I began painting watercolours some thirty years ago, with oil painting coming later. I usually paint direct from nature in a loose impressionist style.....I love painting flower pictures too, for the sheer joy of vibrant colours just as much as landscape.....I really enjoy seeking out suitable views in villages and country lanes whether in the Cotswolds or local to me here in Northamptonshire.
