About Me

Hi and welcome. Please check out my paintings/drawings in my pics and feel free to leave me some constructive criticism. I live in the US but was born and grew up in Scotland. MyGen Profile Generator I most often act on impulse, ruled by my heart and not my head which can make life very interesting. It can however get me into trouble. I've always been told to get my head out of the clouds but I think everyone should have their heads in the clouds because then nothing is impossible.I love to photograph and paint anything that catches my interest and evokes some kind of emotion in me. I paint with watercolours and occasionally pastels and Acrylics. I love Roman art and architecture from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, especially Bernini's angel sculptures on the Point Sant'Angelo.I am interested in being friends with anyone who takes their passion and makes it happen.Check out my photo gallery at http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/gallery.asp?mem=159613Tha nks to Graham Shimmel for using some of my pics on his music space.
