Artist, disabled, married, approaching 60 with the brakes off.. not as dead as i look. Beating the AI, algorithms and bots to bring art back to the planet and remind people that, despite everything, there is beauty in the world. Profile is all my own art

Comparison of 30 years back and a more recent waterfall. Never stop, it is the only way to improve your art. It's always good enough and will continue to surprise you :D

Some sunsets in fantasy themes, usually when recovering from an op and unable to get outside, I just work with what is in my brain :)

Castle Drogo in Devon. If anyone wonders why artists go insane, take one very imposing, tall and looming castle and attempt to get the feeling onto an 8 inch board. Then nail Jelly to a ceiling.

If you find yourself slipping down to the bottom right corner, it is because I fell off that slippery rock while standing in the middle of the river. :)
