About Me

I am a 'late developer' and have been painting for about ten years. I like working with pastels or acrylics, and my favourite pieces often involve figures in some form or other.

Lesly, it has been a long time that I follow your splendid career as a painter, by visiting your blog for example, and now I have the opportunity to follow your art on this site. It may sound a bit repetitive, because I’ve said this to you other times, but it is the truth and what feels my heart: I admire you because of your beautiful paintings, but also because of your great qualities as a human being. Yes, you are for me a special artist and a special person. From Spain, your friend Juan Bielsa

Hi Lesley lovely work, I was interested to see that they are acrylic, and although I use acrylics myself I struggle with them and they always end up thick with paint whereas yours have a delicate translucent look, whats your secret?? Lavinia

Hi Lesley thanks for the tips. I must use these paints up before I can justify purchasing oils, another artist who is struggling with them says that he now just uses them on small areas within a mixed media painting, that too seems like a good idea.Yes I like to put a texture paste on the canvas too as it makes a lovely painting base. Happy paintings and I will look out for your next one. Lavinia
