Thomasin, welcome! I visited your web page and now better understand comments via self/introduction. I agree that studies from life is the path to take. Not sure where you live in the US or UK? Nice self portrait.

Thank-you very much for your comments. I am pleased you think my work is original. I don't always strive for originality, just honesty, although sometimes it is difficult to define just what is honest. I think that is why I want a directness in my approach because you get things down before you start to think too much about what is right / wrong, fashionable / unfashionable, likely to win an award/ not likely to win one etc.etc. All the thoughts that rub away at your confidence and enjoyment - and, inevitably move you away from your honest vision.
Regarding my location. I am at present residing in the US, but my permanent location is in the UK.

Welcome Thomasin,
I am a devotee of working from life as well.
Your work is refreshing, sensitive and original.
I think ones personal style becomes more apparent and unique without the filter of the camera lens.
