Ive been an Artist for a few years now. It all started when a few friends of mine Paul, Lindsay, James and a few others and not forgetting my Uncle bill who does some Watercolour, they mentioned about me taking up painting as a hobby, because as myself hobbies don't really last long.
Anyway I brought my first box of Painting by Nos and got hooked on them, until about 20 or more of them completed, I decided to take up lessons with a professional artist from the SAA so i could advance my painting skills, her name is Jayne Bateman, who taught me every aspects of how to paint but teaching you in your own way & style in Acrylics, I found it very enjoyable and I learnt alot about being an Artist, Jayne Bateman gave me so much encouragement and confidence to paint my own works of Art, I can't thank her enough.
Please check out Jayne Batemans webpage out on this SAA website also. Thank you.
I then took what I was taught and used it to start painting my own paintings, I then decided to have ago at Painting in Oil with Paul and Terri, painting in there Bob Ross class and it was truly fantastic, I learnt even more techniques from them and I can't thank them both enough and to this day im still painting at my home in Swanmore, Hampshire and I just so enjoy and love it ever so much, ive got the painting bug as they say, the great thing is also its lovely to paint for people who enjoy my artworks and ive made alot of new friends from this as well.
I Just wanted to thank all of my family, all of my friends incluidng friends by mail and all who knows me for your continuing encouragement and support with my paintings, i truly appreciate it. I can't thank you all enough for your great support over the years. I think everyone should have ago at Painting, I so love it.
Im also a member of the Portsmouth & Hampshire Art Society.
Exhibited paintings at St Peters Church Art Exhibition, Bishops Waltham, Hampshire in 2012/13.

Your continuing support and friendship is always thought of. That's to you all who knows me by personally,personally by email,twitter,instagram,Linkedin. Thank you. Ill be back painting soon.
