I've more hobbies and interests than I know what to do
with and I honestly don't know how I fit them all in. Apart from my love of drawing and painting, other things I do for relaxation is to play the classical and flamenco guitar and I try to get an hour of play in each day.
My favourite classical guitarist is Julian bream, see a video excerpt

Birdwatching
is a great hobby to do and
which gets me out of doors and gives me some good exercise, birding
makes you alert to what's going on around you, it has also its surprising
moments and gives you a good sound knowledge of nature which can only
and does help my drawing and painting. Sometimes I go out birdwatching
and I suddenly see a scene which I would love to draw or paint so its a
toss up in what gets the nod but usually drawing or painting wins the
day and out comes the pencils and paints and away goes the binoculars.
Photography
is another interest of mine and I use the camera mainly for
taking pictures to draw or paint and photographing birds but mainly I try to
take some good pictures of landscapes to paint,
again it is good for my artwork as it helps you to compose a picture. I have an
Olympus 410 which I think is adequate for taking photographs of birds and
landscapes amongst other things.
Other smaller interesting hobbies that I have are digital photograph
restoration and there are some examples of this type of work here
>> tropical fish keeping is another lesser hobby of
mine, I am also a very good improver of
things, for example my website, I like to make it more interesting in both
content and design for you the reader and a week doesn't go by without me
putting up something new or different even if its just changing text to
something that may sound and look better.
Email me even if its just for a chat I reply to you within the hour.
