Shall I illustrate my stories?

August 23, 2013 Kate7 Comments

I draw. Normally Welsh Life but I can draw and paint almost any subject. My forte is animal and people portraits. Except I am not earning money at it. I used to but I stopped because I found it difficult to see the original leave. My workshop is surrounded by my art and I love… Continue reading Shall I illustrate my stories?
