My Other Life as an Artist

Once upon a time - in another life - I used to be a watercolour painter.  My speciality was animals. 

I loved painting dogs and cats, some sold, a lot didn't. 

I had a few commissions - peoples' pets.

I liked to try and capture the essence of the animal

Cats eyes were always a favourite to paint

But sometimes I painted people too

This one won me a prize in an exhibition

This one gained me entry into an art club

The farmyard attracted me

hens and ducks

and cockerels

Sometimes quick sketches of street scenes

sometimes gardens




But that was a decade ago.  I gave up painting, I lost interest, and never re-gained it.
