Yes, my Id information reveals a 37 yrs old drawing teacher. But, in reality I have to shift my identity every ten years or so to maintain this illution. I am Nils mcBrusli of the clan McBrusli, and I am immortal. Since 1349 I've roamed the centuries, competing for "the prize" by involving in a competition in decapitation with other immortals.

(Or am I confusing my life with a movie again...hmm...)

Oh my God, what a wonderful piece! If I had any doubts (which I didn't) about your artist talents, they are now laid to rest. I do believe this is now my favorite of all the work you've ever done. The colors are magnificent, and the classical feel to the piece is outstanding. This is the most beautiful image, I absolutely adore it!

Thank you I can't take all the credit. I've been studying John Atkinson Grimshaw, a wonderful Victorian artist and this is very similar to one of his paintings. I was pleased with it and want to see if I can produce more in this style using my own photographs of landscape. I have lots of projects on the go at the moment! I'm about to study Renoir next. I'm really enjoying getting back to watercolour. Hope things are well with you

I am doing well, thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you too.

You can certainly take a large part of the credit, you created something very magical, and very Victorian in atmosphere. I can't wait to see what you come up with after studying Renoir!

Working hard on the Renoir. I'm doing the Moulin De La Galette and there are so many people in it! I'm hoping to finish it today. I started it yesterday but there always seems to be so many distractions. I find it frustrating that I can't work uninterrupted on a painting but then I guess I wouldn't have a life!

Thanks Tara I've enjoyed studying Atkinson Grimshaw. I'd like to do more in this style but have quite a few projects on the go. I'm loving using my watercolours again Hope things are good with you.
