As you can see by my self portrait i,m an 'ansome fellow & don't look 61 years of age. I have lived in Malvern for most of my life (see photo) & have been painting & drawing since i was 5 years old although working as a steel fabricator/engineer for many years. I love animals & nature so they are usually the subject of my pictures. I also paint with acrylics & oils but pencil is my favourite medium. i'm a keen amateur photographer & recently started framing my own pictures & in the future would like to look more into printing & card making but my main love is drawing which takes up a great deal of time. There are no deep & meaningful reasons for my art, i just love drawing.
