Cheers... Although I went to art college I did a crappy vocational course (and a lot of parties), it's only in the last 15 years that I've been dabbling, more so the last 5. I only really copy as oppose to using my imagination so in reality don't actually consider my self an artist....it's just something I love doing. Quadrant has said he paints too and am sure have read something like that about Jasonb somewhere. What are you painting? Have never dared to try oils.
