Welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
I like to make stuff (with paint and words). Every day… if I can. I put many of my paintings into a gallery over here.
I used to do a whole lot of Very Serious Things.
But a few years ago I came to my senses and remembered that life is supposed to be fun.
For me, creative expression is fun.
So I create something every day.
Each day is what we make it.
“How we spend our lives is, of course how we spend our days.”
Creating something daily is a way of reminding myself to consciously choose the activities that fill the spaces in my day.
Painting, drawing and writing about the world around me helps me notice and appreciate the little things that make our lives wonderful.
My favourite is watercolour. Painting with watercolour is the perfect way to relax and unwind. I believe it is like meditation for people who don’t like meditating.
I love the simplicity of watercolour with its quick set up and clean up.
I also love its unpredictability.
But what I love most is sharing the joy of watercolour with other creative souls.
If you fancy trying your hand at watercolour but are wondering what you actually need to get started I have a Beginner’s Guide to Watercolour Supplies that might just be exactly what you are looking for.
It’s completely free, and it includes a video course.
So why not jump in and find out exactly which supplies you need (and which ones you don’t)?
Nice to 'meet' you
