Mother of 4 - Grandmother of 7. My life revolves around ballroom dancing and being an Artist. I paint in watercolours, acrylic and pastel and love graphite and charcoal. I mainly paint animals and birds, but have branched out into people portrait painting. Always looking for something that grabs me to paint, so the flicka photos are a great inspiration. I use a 35 mm PENTAX MZ-60camera, a Ricoh Caplio R5 digital, and 2012 a Fujifilm Finepix F550 EXR
