For over 20 years I had been a painter and sculptor operating from a studio in remote rural location in Berkshire. I was very happy and extremely industrious and held about 3 one-man shows a year around Britain. Circumstances caused my art to collapse in ruins, over 15 years ago. Since I had retired and reoriented my life the creative urge and my love of Nature and the English landscape has returned. Tentativley I have begun to take up photography. I am exploring the use of a 5mp camera phone offering 2592x1944 pixels giving approx. 300dpi on a 10"x8" print.
