Its been a long time sin's I have written a journal for my D/A page,so here we go!
I shall be doing more portraits to upload to my Gallery and would like people who visit my page to take the time to have a look and tell me there opinion's of my work?
I have the thought of starting a sideline job as a portrait artist'with an eye for high Detail. At this time I'm looking for subject matter with a differences!. please' If you have any thoughts or suggestions on were to find what I'm looking for please feel free to contact me here.
the kind of portrait work that I'm looking to do would not be entirely conventional! I do not want to just do a smiling face on a three quarter turn
I want to put life in to my work,like if you see somebody pulling a face cheekily' or the face of concentration'or the startled face!. these are more interesting for me to do. also i think people would like this kind of Idea. Remember the next time you see somebody reacting to a situation
that makes them act out of character (stepping out of there day-to-day face). This were I am
Also I have the Benefit of Being a Photographer for some 20 years, and a multi medium and subject matter Artist for 40? years.
I know my Gallery dose not reflect all my ability's .but as i do more to build up my portfolio you will begin to see my visions and feelings.
I have sold most of my work by word of mouth! but now I think I should try to do more with my work and let people share a new vision of there loved one,s in a slightly different way!
please feel free to comment on my Journal as i would like to hear you thoughts and Ideas

hello every one just finished another painting of a friend's baby and I have to say it as come out good. I really like it (see what you think)
the painting name is (Ashton) normally I use pencil but I thought I would use paint this time. I would love to do this as a full time job as a portrait Artist maybe working with a wedding Photography site that would like to have my work as part as there wedding package's or something?.anyway life going well at this time trying to build up a portfolio of different type's of work. but mainly portraits I think as this is something that I would like to do!. I have done A lot of Landscape's and wildlife! And I still enjoy doing them!
but I really I would love to get out of the Day job and make my way doing something I love doing. anyway feel free to look around my Gallery
and please leave a comment and your views on what you see as I know I need to develop some area's in my work.

Thanks people.

its been a long time sins I have been on DA'still here I am HELLO THERE!
still working on a painting stile and composition that I have only seen in photography and its all thanks to a young Artist and a really good one at that. Somehow I wonder how he has the time because he is also a musician. Here a thing? do you think art with a brush and art with a musical instrument are one and the same UMMM?.
I do when you watch a film like say Lord of the rings and you see rolling landscapes with music playing in the background witch gives you that feeling of earthly beauty. for me I remember when I was at school sitting in an Art lesson and the teacher asking us to draw or paint a picture just by listening to a peace of classical music. if I remember it was called The Hall of the mounting king and out of say twenty children at that time TEN children came up with more or less the same thing.
so every time I sit down and paint I have music playing in the background its inportent to me even more now with this new stile and comosition i am using. Till next time

Hi people hows life? Iv just found inspiration from another Artist who duz portraiture like my self. this dude uses a composition like I have never seen only in photography and it works. the excitement is so strange the only thing is that he uses oil's My self I use acrylics  
At this time my mind as been taken over with the Vision of what I can do.
For a long time now I have spent looking for something different to get me teeth into and its been frustrating. Now that's gone (HAPPY DAYS)
I have to say the drive and the determination that I feel well I can not put it into words. Its strange when you you get into a Rut you always look for something different to get yu'self out of it?. I think if you do find something you are very lucky!. The One thing that I have got out of this is well you Don't have to look to hard because sometimes its all ready there Just needs looking at in a different way.

Its been a long time sins Iv done anything with my journal and this is the reason. Iv been trying to find family that live in a different country (Hungary) and do not speak English. Iv never seen them or spoken to them.
I Do know that they want to see me has my mother and my sister went over  to this country to see them strait a way there was a big language problem no one could understand each other they did find some one that helped but for my mother and sister it was to much.
the info that they did bring back was just not sufficient.so if anyone out there reading this as any suggestions? I could do with some who speaks Hungarian and English.
