I have really enjoyed looking through your portfolio, Bill, and reading your comments and the advice you have been given. Thanks for putting your first painting in context. As someone recently retired who did not do even do O level art there is nothing more annoying than people saying 'I'm just a complete beginner ' and then you find out they have been going to classes for the last ten years and sketching for twenty. I have been drawing and painting for over two years now and though I may be a beginner in terms of results I would not say I am a complete beginner. Like you, I put my first ever painting , an acrylic, up on this site and have benefitted from comments. Good luck.

Love this , paint it again when your house is built.

Thanks Sian & Karyl for your comments, much appreciated

It's of the Red Cuillin on Skye - mainly since we've just bought a plot of land there, to move and build a house. All comments or suggestions welcome
