Since my retirement I have been able to dedicate myself far more to what has always essentially been just a hobby. Six years ago I joined the Pembrokeshire Association of Artists and I have benefited enormously from a number of one and two-day workshops, led by different professional artists and encompassing a very wide variety of approaches, techniques and media. Examples of my work can be viewed on my Website : www.westsixmedia.demon.co.uk I paint almost anything which captures my imagination. Over the years I have enjoyed producing watercolour portraits of people's pets. These have mainly been of dogs, but there are a few cats and horses, as well as the odd chicken! Acrylic
is currently my favourite medium and I am also embarking on oils. I
really love the challenge of I am more than happy to discuss commissions.

Anne Farmer: About Me I adore
the possibilities of watercolour and this has become the medium I work
in almost exclusively. My paintings
are broadly representational, based on the world outside and sometimes
indoors too. So I am still waiting to discover 'my' subject - but I've got a feeling I shall carry on finding too many things too interesting to narrow down the choice much. The pictures are based on sketches, memories and photographs: a digital camera and a laptop means you can spend time thinking about your next painting even if you can't get on with the job! I provide black and white drawings for a couple of local magazines and in the past I wrote and illustrated a monthly column called 'Prunings' for the South West Vineyards Association, winning the Gillian Pearkes Memorial Trophy for these contributions. Last Christmas I produced 'Bonny Beagle' dedicated to my grandchildren, and other children (and adults, so they say) have enjoyed the stories and pictures. I have a couple of other ideas I'm mulling over. I am always happy to consider commissions, and have undertaken several paintings of various buildings. |
