The Artists

Bernard Sims
In the 80s, I developed an interest in the work of the French Impressionists and began painting as a hobby, I suppose, I became a leisure painter! Having retired from full-time work we moved from Essex to the West Country and finally settled in Timsbury in 2016 and I joined TAG which had been active for over 20 years with a substantial membership. I tried oils but preferred to paint in watercolour. What I particularly like about painting is that it concentrates the mind, and you lose yourself for 2 to 3 hours on the project. I don’t take the final painting too seriously as I’ve enjoyed the painting process :--
