I paint as a hobby and I am currently taking life drawing classes in St. John s College in Cork. <br /> <br> Painting is a need for me and a lovely hobby. The sale of the paintings are to fund my art work expenses. The rest is donated to various charity organizations. I am happy to keep you updated on the progress of the donations. <br> <br> Comment on my Work: <br /> <br> My work is based on surroundings that are very dear to me. I believe that the inspiration to paint any theme or object originates from the warmth or value that I feel from it. <br /> <br> Whether it is a place where I have spent my childhood, or a precious moment that I want to capture, I use this image to start a canvas and absolutely love to watch it progress as the lines or the colours define and evolve as I go along. <br /> <br> I find the mixture of definite strokes with the infinite combination of colours that I mix a very exciting experience. Taking its source from a past or present feeling, each painting is an exploration. <br /> <br> My ain is to express and fix on canvas, timeless moments that are of course important to me, but also common to all of us& .. <br> <br> </td><td width="5"> <img src="picts/spacer.gif" height="10" width="5" alt="image"><br> </td></tr></table> <!-- END CONTENT TABLE --> </td><td valign="top" width="40"> <!-- SPLIT TABLE --> <img src="picts/spacer.gif" border="0" width="20" height="30" alt="image"><br> </td></tr></table> <!-- SPLIT TABLE --> <br> <!-- COPYRIGHT FOOTER --> <span class ="footer"> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="footer.js"></script> </span> <!-- COPYRIGHT FOOTER --> </td></tr></table> <!-- END PAGE TABLE--> </body> </html>
