My dad by Tim Bettesworth

That’s rather good. Try a bit of editing and give yourself a name and some info!

Thank you Tessa for your encouragement. Wanted to show quite a bit of his tie as it is such an important part of his persona. Only just joined the online site and have now posted my profile. I have been receiving the magazine for a year and am finding it most helpful in my development.

Well done, Tim! I have taught myself to paint by using The Artist...not that I'm a good advert, lol! Been receiving it for over 20 years so should be a lot better!!! This is a great portrait, so much life...and loads of love shine from it! Delightful! Oh, and by the way I'm an avid diver!!

Super portrait!

Thank you Thalia for your kind words. You talk yourself down. I have looked at your gallery and love ‘trees in winter’, Opera and your self portrait. Looks like a portrait in watercolour, very challenging. Keep up the diving. We keep going back to the same island, Komandoo.

Glad you like my comment! We still dive, despite our age! Really good here on Gozo!

Nice one tim
