Now retired, I've been painting on and off for many years. Retirement has allowed me to spend more time painting. I paint in watercolour. I have tried other media but always seem to revert back to watercolour, even though arguably it is the most challenging medium. I am lucky as I have been able to spend many years travelling and this has given me the inspiration to finally commit some of my memories to paper. I enjoy different techniques and styles, so my paintings vary considerably in this respect. I mostly frame my paintings myself as I believe a frame can make or break a painting. My wife has a good eye for choosing the right frame, style, mount and colour for the painting.
