I quite naturally painted since my childhood, as many children do! And I have always loved this form of expressing the world around me. I use mainly oils, watercolours, acrylics and charcoal/ pencils - occasionally collage, and other media. Over the past 20 years I have periodically attended art classes with 3 art teachers in England and some ad hoc classes. My first attempt at oil painting aged 16 was during a sweltering summer in India, guided by a lovely gentleman art teacher, Mr Kabli. I have painted off and on over the years work allowing. Now, as a Senior Citizen, I paint frequently - never a day without a line!
