When I retired in late 2010, I intended to spend most of my time painting, but other obligations prevented that.

After deciding to swap from acrylics to oils for outdoor painting, I joined an advanced class run by Margaret, and that provided both expert advice and the encouragement of a painting group over the years, to keep my brushes in use when I didn’t have time at home for painting.

The collection of paintings produced in that group is gradually increasing, although still at a slow pace.

To enable current paintings to be seen first, these are presented in reverse chronological order, with the latest at the start.
