Artist's Description
I went through a period in the late eighties and early nineties where I began to paint in watercolours. I was so eager to improve my skills that I painted everyday for several weeks. Photographs, books, calendars, wherever I found an image that looked good, I painted it. I soon exhausted all my ideas for paintings. In the end, I resorted to asking people I worked with, if they maybe had something that was worth painting. One of them, a woman called Shirley, came in with a few nice photos. This painting came from one of them which I liked and shows her dog, a Westie, on a beach, appearing to be stranded by the incoming tide. It has a look on it's face which seems to say "don't just stand there taking photographs, come and get me!" I'm sure he wasn't really stranded. That was many years ago and by now, Shirley's dog is no more. I don't know what happened to Shirley and I don't remember if she ever saw this. I wonder what she'd think of it.

About Martin Howard
I am an English Artist living in Borlange, Sweden since 2005. I have been painting on and off since the early eighties, in oils to begin with before moving on to watercolours. I also have an interest in photography which I have often used as part of my preliminary work for my paintings. In recent months, I have had a little extra time on my hands, which has fuelled my artistic fire. I find that I am experimenting much more with my photography to create more abstract images at the same time as learning new methods of processing photographs. This in turn, is influencing my ideas for paintings. Anybody visiting my website, will find a real mixture of styles and mediums and I believe, something for everybody. The reason that I paint or take...
