Thank you for the compliment. I am not taking lessons apart from the lessons I got from mum over the time she visited from overseas last year. Now that she has gone home she would send me ideas or I would start a project and we would communicate tips and advice back and forth which is a nice connection we now share. I take photos of what I am attempting and would ask her about colours and bounce ideas off her. I have looked at many youtube clips on free art lessons and everytime I want to try a different tecnique I look up free tips or lessons online. To be honest, I can't financially afford lessons given the ongoing medical expenses with my treatment so I try to just enjoy it and learn as I go. I don't think I will ever do this professionally to make a living from it, for now it is just like my very happy place I escape too.LITHGOW1950 said:What a beautiful and inspiring story.

I will definitely post more of my art. Thank you for taking the time to comment x
