pamela durrans - I am a retired health worker who loved art at school. Now having time to enjoy art in many forms, I am trying to produce paintings and drawings that other people, hopefully, enjoy looking at. Watercolour was my first love and swiftly moved on to figure drawing and later, oil paintings and landscapes. I still try to practise all of them in the hope that I will, someday, produce a masterpiece!
