A New Adventure

Time catches up with us all eventually and I have taken the next step
I am currently trying to set up a web site and am attending classes along with a much younger friend.
So far I have registered my domain name    www.annesladeartist.com.au 

Over the next four weeks hopefully things will appear on the site and it will become a brilliant site to visit----(just kidding !!)
It has taken four weeks to reach this position but I have learnt a little along the way.
So if you visit the site please make comments when applicable


November ---and with the course well behind us -----the web site is up and ready for viewing.
There will continue to be changes over time as more knowledge is gained.

In the mean-time please comment if you wish -- it would be good to know that someone had taken the time to
take a peek!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Other art is available to be viewed at Lismore Art Clubs web site    www.lismoreartclub.com)

A few years have passed since I last added to this site with it now being January 2018!!!  But I have continued to make lots of art pieces  and have sold quite a few as well -- it  is always a pleasure to know that others are happy to have a work of mine, hanging on their wall.

I continue to prefer Watercolour as my choice of medium, but I will turn to  an occasional Acrylic which gives a burst of stronger colour as an expression of how emotion takes me.

Lots of my original Watercolour cards have been bought, and I presume, sent off to various corners of the land where others hopefully have enjoyed receiving a little piece of original art work.
