amazingly painter


My English is not good, but with this blog space, I wish to make it up and perhaps exchange ideas for my further development in painting.
I follow simultaneous different drawing courses. First of all, in a regular town academy, then  once a week with a teacher of nude drawings, and at last a master class given several times a year with a well-known watercolor artist.
A few years ago, suddenly I lost the capacity to work and felt home alone, borrowing a lot; severe lumbar back pain and bilateral coxarthrosis hindered me from continuing to sport, garden, travel, do housekeeping, and so on. My world was so reduced in a few months that in a first step I had to fight against losing credence in the value of life. Timidly I started bicycling, reading, and painting. Today I'm happy to handle pencils, paintbrushes, watercolors, oils, and acrylics with a certain dexterity. After a few years, the works pile up, and despite the academic expositions, all these paintings seem like unposted letters. I'm looking to promote a part, although I consider most of them as children of mine. 
During these interesting drawing sessions, we built up a group of fine people making friendships for several years
