Drawing/painting has really become a passion for me, and rarely a day goes by without of some form of “arty” activity. I find it immensely absorbing and satisfying, and yes, sometimes frustrating.
Apart from the odd two to four-day workshop, I would refer to myself as self-taught.
I am continually amazed at the “third dimension” or depth that is created on a flat surface. With the simple stroke of a brush or pen, a nose can come forward, or a tree pushed back, and how the use of shadows and reflections will give sparkle and light to a painting.
When arriving on Bribie Island in Queensland in 2004, following a working life in the steel industry, I thought I would take up golf and my wife would do “arty things”. How wrong was I!
