My very first picture EVER... after watching 'Bob Ross' on TV. Now that's what I call 'worthwhile tv'. December 2000
	My Second attempt
	Number Three
	Now this is fun!
	I wonder who will want this one...?
	I wish I could paint better... I've 'lost' this one... It is beyond me at the moment. I don't know enough...
	My first painting using real brushes... The picture is 'flat'. I need proper lessons... February 2001
PLEASE CLICK HERE	My move to 'conventional' oil painting. I'm having lessons...

Join me in my sojourn into the world of arts and crafts, in my attempt to further my education and explore the avenues of culture and the Arts. What??? This has already led me to visit The Tate Gallery at St Ives, Cornwall.
I would not expect many 'casual amateur' painters to thoroughly enjoy a visit there. It is hard to find, difficult to find the 'WAY IN', and difficult to navigate when you are inside, but at least 'over 60's get in free! BTW the Gallery Staff concur!

Little known fact: - The Tate Building at St Ives, Cornwall is round because it was built on the site of an old gasometer. They could not stray outside the conservation area, so it had to be round!
