Christmas
Wow!! Christmas day has come and gone. Don't know why the preparations for Christmas always seem to hold more weight than the Christmas day itself.
Can't help reliving what Christmas was like as a child...it sure was more fun than it is now for me. As a child (like every child) all I ever thought about was my gifts and Christmas meat!! Somehow, my mum's food always tasted differently that day. Now as an adult, the joy of
Christmas is never always complete because of the inevitable fact that one has to worry about tomorrow. I guess (I'm pretty sure) it'll be a lot different when the tiny tots come. It's always very satisfying seeing the smile on every tiny tot's face whenever a present in a shiny colorful box is given to them.
All the same, Christmas celebrations still continue and it's only a foolish man that puts aside the joy of today to bother about the uncertainties of tomorrow.
Wishing you the very best of the season and all that goes with it!!!
A Painting surface or support is the surface on which paint is applied and it depends on the kind of painting media (i: e paint) you have chosen to use. There are different types of painting surfaces or supports that can be used for painting e: g canvas, hard board, paper or even a wall.
Acrylic paint is very beautiful but can be very annoying and frustrating to use. Somehow when I was starting off in my world of painting I thought acrylic paint could be applied to any surface (I do not know where I got that notion!), but I soon discovered it is not true.
Watercolour is a very clean medium to use. It is not as messy as Oil or Acrylic and there are no solvents to work with thus making it very safe and child friendly too.
This video was shot while in my painting studio creating a painting of a Field of Daisies with Acrylics. Hope you enjoy it.
This is a video showing the progress I made when I was creating an Acrylic painting of an African village. It was painted on canvas board.
This video shows me at work creating a Flower bed painting with Acrylics. This is a speed painting from the beginning to the end. Hope you enjoy it.
This is research addressing questions about protected characteristics with honesty and transparency. The aim was to produce an equality and diversity factsheet that would help to inform Wessex Appraisal Services. We know that the healthcare profession tends to attract diversity and the findings from this research show doctors in Dorset and Hampshire are more ethnically diverse (23%) compared to the population (4.4%) as well as Nationally (13%). We hope that through these results doctors would be able to recognise they have shared characteristics thus they are not alone.
