I cant't believe how quickly the year is already progressing. I took a little longer to finish this picture than I meant to , so January has already passed by.
It is February , cold and sometimes grey so a little Provence sunshine was in order.
I had no art training until I joined a class in our small village in Oxted Surrey (U.K.) in 2001. Since then I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about water-colour, pastel and oil painting. I have been really been inspired to try these different media by my art teacher. Now with no classes for a few years finding the Challenge sites has been a real boon, I am having a great time. The stimulation one gets from the challenges and the wonderful support from other artists has been fantastic.
