A lovely painting, and so “free”. I started learning to paint about 6 years ago, going to a U3A class when my husband was at the Hospice day centre. After my first painting took so long and I spent ages on the detail my art teacher suggested I may find the photography group more suitable. She was joking and I’m still going. She lost her husband to cancer this year and we are now great friends. I still have difficulty trying not to paint like a photo though. I’d love to be able to paint like you.

It begs me to ask so many questions and imagine so many things.

Thank you

Amazing and evocative. Thank you for sharing it. There are still wonders to behold, and the reminder is more than welcome!

That is so lovely. Hope you exhibit more of your work for us. xx

Wow, that's beautiful Jim, you must have a free spirit to let yourself go to produce a painting with such free brushwork. I intend to take up painting soon, I'm a little bit scared as I know that letting yourself go to paint without be inhibited is pretty difficult and I know I won't be satisfied with just copying pictures, I want to develop my own style. Not in the right frame of mind at the mo having recently lost Ben.

With admiration
