About Me !

Where it all started

There’s not much to say about me.  Erm.. I took up drawing after a wet day in a caravan and using some pencils to draw the view from the caravan site in 2002.   Didn’t do much until 2005, when we visited the Llangollen Steam Railway and took loads of photos - as you tend to with digital cameras.  I liked one of the photos of the bridge at Carrog Station and thought I’d have a go at drawing it.  I enjoyed drawing it and liked the results so I decided to try drawing other things.  Next was a couple of steam lorries and steam showmans engine.

We detoured to Carrog whilst on a journey to Porthmadog to take more photos, which resulted in the view of the station from the bridge. These two pictures have been on sale at the railway, at Carrog station, to raise a few pounds in funds (though that does depend on them actually selling - which is a different matter)

I’ve managed to attempt quite a range of subjects including animals, steam driven vehicles, some landscapes and even a couple of portraits. The portraits looked good at the time but now look terrible now I’ve got a bit more experience under my belt, but that’s what learning is all about!

I must give a big vote of thanks to those talented people at Scribble Talk which is a growing band of pencil artist who are more than ready to use their experience to give good advice to the likes of me. Thanks
