Did I tell you that I paint. I don't think I have. Watercolours and Pastels and I have sold quite a few at exhibition and have been commission to do several portraits. The rose amongst the photo's is one of my later paintings.
To be very honest though I haven't painted seriously for about 2 years or maybe longer. I started missing it recently so started to dig out all my brushes and paper and took them on holiday. I love watercolours and Pastels are so forgiving I love painting people and some landscapes with them.
Anyway, as it happened when I was demonstrating at the range there was also a really nice man demonstrating for Derwent. He was showing watercolour pencils. Unfortunately, I didn't get time to see the demonstration but I chatted afterwards.
He had demonstrated all over and new a lot of the painters that I had already seen in the past, and he was doing a private demonstration in my area in September and said to call if I wanted to go to watch. His wife and some other friends were also going.
His name was Tony Hogan so watch out for him.
Guess where I am going then 23rd September. I am looking forward to it. Funny how things turn out. I think Karma shows you opportunities whenever you want a push in a direction, and not so long ago I really wanted a push in the direction of Crafting and Painting.
See you soon.
