# About me
I am a retired doctor who took up oil painting and drawing in earnest in 2010. Prior to that I did very little, so I have a lot of catching up to do. I am self-taught.Most of these paintings and drawings here have time-lapse progress videos on YouTube. Visit my website to link to them, or follow the links here on DA

WoW! I find it amazing that you have only been painting for 5 years and are self-taught!!!
To read that is very inspiring, I've always wanted to paint but felt like I have missed the opportunity as the time for me to go to college and university has long gone!
But to find that its possible to paint like this without years and years of university training is amazing!
I find you and your family incredibly inspiring, you are all a great example of what can be achieved if you just work at it.
Thank you.

By accident I have stumbled accross your work and just wanted to say that I am more than impressed. Being still at the graphite/colored pencil end of my journey in art, your extremely fantastic work is not only an inspiration and challenge but a tremendously great source to study and learn. Thanks so much for sharing.

That's very kind of you. I'm still learning. I only started painting in 2009 when I retired. Prior to that my last work (Life) was done in 1989! I was afraid of colour and my early attempts were awful. Your pencil drawings are exquisite btw

If you only started that recently, then your work is even more impressive and inspiring. I started art only retirement as well, after a life of being convinced that I can't draw. Thanks for your kind comment.
