Hi Everyone, Happy 2024 to you all!
I am 65 years old and my painting journey has been a long one. My father was an artist and I had learned so much from him, always following him around with a pencil and journal even when we visited anyone.
I have always loved to draw but as a Mum of 3 boys life gets in the way. I have only in the last few years delved back into painting using all mediums but Acrylics are my favourite. I am a grandma of 4 now and teaching my grandchildren to draw and paint is a new kind of peace it is a blessing.
What I love the most about acrylics are their smoothness and flow, blending so easily making the image come alive as soon as it is spread on. It's taken a lot of years but I found my inner peace when I paint I just Love the serenity that surrounds me and that smell of paint! Absolute heaven!
Moving into retirement I am now busier than ever. I am also a Children's book illustrator and Paint & Sip Party Instructor.
Funny how life takes you on so many different paths and I love each one of them! So this is ME!
Here is my painting, my inspiration from a photo I took in Coolangatta while watching the waves break over the shoreline it's calming and just beautiful. I call it 'Coolangatta Break' I hope I have done it justice.
I do hope you all like it. Have a great Arty year everyone!
