​The Story Of An Unlikely Dream

To Become A Musician

Another Of My Passions

Ever since I was a little tot I wanted to be an artist. I was gifted ability but unfortunately not real talent, however I drew and drew and drew then I took art at school and did ok, took it at college and did ok. Always getting better but never anywhere near good enough so on that occasion I let go of my dream to be an artist (yes I know hypocritical given my advice a couple of days ago but it was 20 years ago!) but never the love. Playing music has re-awoken the passion big time and I've begun to draw again and it seems tapping into my artistic side in music has helped with my drawing. I've made a lot more progress in the last few months than I did in all my years at college (I couldn't draw like this back then).  It's truly amazing what learning and playing music can do, I never wrote lyrics until I started playing.  I'd tried, many many times but always failed now I do it all the time.  I'm not saying they're good but they are lyrics (have you noticed how I always put a disclaimer every time I dare to say something nice about myself!!  Bad habit and very naughty but I can't help it)!!   Anyway I thought I'd share some of my recent art work with you today and show you another side of me.   I'll show you my wildlife photography too some time in a future post.😊
