My Art Story Finished

I have completed my art story now so I hope that you will get to read it in due course, it has certainly been exciting to relive the past.

More of 'My Story'

I have added several more parts to 'My Art Story'

Colin's on TV

Just to let you all know that I am on tv a few times this July. Switch on to Sky TV channel 166 at 4pm on 7th July and again at 7pm on 8th July. The second programme is on the same channel at 4pm on 14th July and again 15th at 7pm. Not sure what the subjects are going to be but it's wildlife this time the 7th & 8th is one subject and the 14th & 15th is another

More of My Story

It's a while since my last blog entry and there is a good reason for that. I have been so busy with one thing and another, what with a new grandson arriving and another one in the pipeline if you will pardon my expression. My retirement has gone to pot recently and I have been busy with mail order customers. Not that I am complaining you understand but all this is on top of a very active social calendar. Any way it is nice to be back on track for the time being at any rate.

More of My Story and FAQ

I have added a couple more paragraphs to 'My Story' also answered two more questions in the FAQ. in the 'exclusive content' section.

New updates to Exclusive Content section

I have added a new 'tip' , two new instalments to 'My Story' and another FAQ. It is interesting how I have remembered long forgotten sections of my life appertaining to the art side that came to me while writing the 'Story'. I suppose its because I am concentrateing harder and everything is coming into focus. I am currently working on the new Aylesford in the Snow dvd and hope to have it ready for sale at the end of next week, (third week in May).

Short refreshing holiday

Just returned from a long weekend away and much refreshed. So much so that I am going to update my 'Tipt', 'Story' and FAQ section of my exclusive content section.

More 'exclusive content'

I am a bit slow entering detail in my blog but I will get faster as I get more used to it. I have entered more detail in my 'exclusive content' section of this site, might be worth a look.
I am being asked when will 'Aylesford in the Snow' be ready as a DVD. I am hoping that this will be ready the third week in May all being well and i get my finger out.

First Tip on 'Tips & Techniques' page.

I have entered my first on my 'Tips & Techniques' page today on how to use tissue in watercolour painting. Getting more used to this site now i am sure it is a case of the more you do the better you get. Still got to get 'My Strory started yet still have it running round in my head about how to start it off. I think it will begin with my art teacher at school and the remarks he made that stayed with me after all this time.

My story

I have from time to time been asked how I started painting and what inspired me to do so. I have answered this question briefly but have necer told the sory in full. Well now I am going to include it in this website soon as I hope it will inspire others to persue thier own artwork. I am thinking of adding this in parts or chapters and try to make this weekly occurence, but as it will have its own designated title 'My Story' there will be no other entries seperating the narrative. Colin.
