I am usually influenced by my love and respect of nature and by color and light and enjoy the challenge of difficult subjects. Due to my having to earn a living as a gardener, I don't have a very large repertoire of exhibitions to boast of, however, the paintings displayed here are a few of many which I exhibited at my own show last November. My formal "training", (Dip.Visual Arts), didn't include "traditional" styles but in Abstract Constructionism.
