Thanks, everyone.
The thing with me and art is that I am reasonably good at drawing faces and, let's face it, who wants a miner or Joanna Lumley etc. on their wall? What I want to achieve is to do something that people would like to 'live with' but, up to now, I've only painted three pictures like that and don't want to part with them because I'm hoping that when I die someone in the family will also want to keep them. Having said that though, the standard of other people's work in our exhibitions is really good and, still, they don't sell very many. It's not that they're pricey either.
The thing is, I suppose, the relaxation of sitting painting and drawing and the company of a great bunch of people who make up the group.
