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 :--
