After a period of 20 years, I recently decided to see if I could still draw & paint as well as in the past. I had a little success during the 80's including commissions from publishers, but these days my eyesight is not so good. I would welcome the chance to earn through art, a little extra income to pay for my materials & perhaps help my fiancee whom lives near Manila. I did attend the academy of art in Amsterdam during 1985 and Royal College of Music in the late 60's. I'm originally from London and have resided in the Netherlands since 1979. For what it's worth, I'm a lefty..I was punished and forced to use my right hand many times at primary school!
I always wanted to work as an art teacher, but what with the high demands for qualifications..huh and time has passed me by...
(My younger sister told me recently that I would never make it as an artist because I'm not commercial enough. Comments like that only add fuel to the fire of ambition, thanks sis!)
Many thanks to all of you for the encouraging feed-back...
