"Winding wilderness" Painting

“The most beautiful flowers often arise from seeds hidden and nurtured by the cold, wet, mud”. That’s how I began. I've painted my whole life but didn't realise how much I loved doing it till I was in my late 30's. Too late to do full time study I began working from scratch. I painted day and night, read and met artists. I had a wonderful mentor who saw a spark in me. Something I never saw for myself. To him I am grateful and to the many over the years who have taught me valuable lessons which today can be seen through my art... I will continue learning till the end.. !
