Richard Old

Biography

Took up painting in my 70th year having seen a demo of classes from a local Artist. My older brother was a remarkable Artist and won national competitions starting at the age of twelve and went on to earning his living with his work. My efforts at the same age were, quite frankly, dismal. Now I believe my efforts are, quite frankly I hope, not too shabby. The main point is though I derive great pleasure in just sitting at an easel and working away. Now having read through the Magazines I realise I must start working on my drawing skills which are, at present, non-existent.
