Hi, I am a painter and sculptor in Southport Merseyside, U.K. who works in a variety of media and exhibits locally. My subjects vary but I am influenced by the local landscape and townscapes. I also do a lot of life drawing. I find this allows me to explore different media and improves my drawing skills.
I started this blog to increase my internet footprint and support my website. However, since I started I have found it a useful way of putting out my work just so that I can look at it. I can then consider it from a different perspective and it makes me rework some pieces. I try and put most of what I do on the site, so it is a kind of diary of my painting and this means that there is quite a bit of stuff I would rather forget. Having said that there are times when you can be pleasantly surprised by what you produce.
A lot of what I put on this blog finishes up on my website:
Lovely work, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your interest and comment. Has your work been in the press? Was it featured in Artists and Illustrators? It seems familiar.

Thanks for your comments.
There’s a name from the past. Is Ron Ransom still alive? I went on a couple of his courses at his house near the Wye valley. Lovely place and the area was great for painting. I haven’t heard anything of him in a while

I actually don;t know his website is changed a bit I don;t know if he still alive. I like his way to paint with loose watercolors mostly I have his books. Nice that you got to experience courses at his home. Your paintings are beautiful. here you can see some of mine https://carolinarussoart.wordpress.com/watercolor/
