First of all I want to say thank you for looking at my site.
Part of me sometimes wants to have a really sophisticated 'scarey' site, which makes people think that someone is very important, or an artist's site where the 'someone else' talks about the artist and blows their trumpet for them.  I always wonder too how artists get oil paintings to dry quickly enough for quick delivery?  Bit dodgy that even if the outside layer is dry, an accidental poke with something and it's ruined.  The phrase award winning gets to me a bit because I'm never one hundred percent why certain people win awards, often art is gross or ridiculous and yet can fetch millions.  Surely those artists are at the top of their 'tree' but painting your child, dog or whatever means something to you, no!  Anyway, thank-you from the bottom of my heart.

  I believe that experience has always been the best teacher.
