I am in full time employment, and spend most of my spare time with my boyfriend and painting.

I've been painting for some years now even though I am only 22. I took art for both GSCE and A-level and passed.

I would like to try and sell some of my paintings as I feel you don't see too many original paintings around these days. Everything seems to be done on computer, and as much as I respect this, I think it is much nicer to look at a picture and see the brush strokes and the texture of the paint.

I have done a few commision pictures in the past, although I do prefer to set my own goals as I never know when I've next got enough time to complete a painting.
