I have been an artist for many years. In fact, at 93 years of age I am probably Bluethumb's oldest artist. Painting is what keeps me connected , and an occupation I love. I have had no formal training but generous fellow artists have helped me along the way. I was a primary school teacher years ago, and I continued to teach children to paint for a while after I left teaching. I still paint each day, and I am surrounded by colour in my beautiful garden and the riverside area where I live. I am never short of inspiration. I am lucky to still be able to put my thoughts on canvas and produce pictures . I hope you like what you see. Judy
