Oil on canvas, 23cm x 53cm. Until 31st January 2014 this painting is exhibited in Theatr Hafren, (Newtown, Powys) Open Art Competition where it took 1st Prize. Although my first degree and work was science based I had been painting on and off since schooldays. I studied a Foundation Course in Art part-time, and in 1993 I prepared to start a degree in Fine Art. Just two weeks before the start of term my world came apart when I had a brain haemorrhage and post-operative severe stroke. I was in hospital for 13 months learning to walk and talk again. Being right-handed, my world was even more of a mess than ever. My whole right side was paralysed. It was so frustrating re-learning to draw and paint with my left hand there were times, in the first few years, when I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't!!
