Description:

After my father died in the late 70's, I decided to start my mother painting again. I remembered that she used to do a bit of daubing in oils when she was young, but had since left it behind her. To encourage her interest, I accompanied her on our mutual art-forays and I also started to paint for the first time in my forties. I have continued to play with colour and mood ever since, in mixed media; water, oils, acrylics, finding an outlet for expression without words. Here is my small collection of some 70 pieces from the hundreds of paintings I have done that I kept recorded. My efforts started in the mid-70's and have continued to the present time. Mostly photographed with an out-dated snap-shot type camera, the pictures are mistier than focused but still capture something intrinsicallly impressionable from my subconscious. I hope you enjoy sharing these simple dreamscapes from my imagination.
