During my medical career colleagues would sit beside me at meetings to observe my doodling. On retirement I decided to learn to draw and joined a local art group, attended tuition classes and also demonstrations. I was soon guided into painting and gravitated towards acrylics from watercolour. I still paint regularly with watercolours to encourage a little discipline, but take more delight in the freedom of acrylics. My abstract paintings are textured and many layered because I work on the principle that the more layers applied the more likely fine detail and a pleasing appearance will emerge eventually. This is on the monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare principle.
