My interest in drawing began in school days, but was put in abeyance by university studies and a scientific career. On retirement, I started with watercolour at the Putney School of Art. I attended various classes in London. The best tuition for me was gained from SCOLA in Sutton; it has a strong art department. Painting is now my hobby and (when it works) gives me great pleasure. If asked what I paint, my response is anything!
We made our “Escape to the Country” some years ago. We have enjoyed the variety of wild life as well as the flowers and fruit in our garden. These drawings and paintings are an attempt to depict the pleasure we have had here.

Horses in watercolour: I enjoyed riding only as a child, but love the beauty of these animals still. All of them have performed in dressage competitions. Boris has retired to Scotland, he was 24 when I saw him for this portrait. High Kingdom won a silver medal as part of an Olympic team. Super Ted lives in Suffolk and likes to chew fences, he is young and spirited!

I have always liked drawing animals and find that the InkTense pencils work well for this. Our neighbours provided the delightful creatures below for me.
