Trip to London to attend Varnishing Day at Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

The journey included a visit to Tate Britain to pay homage to the master that is JMW Turner. The collection includes the great self portrait aged 24 years.

A prolific artist of oil painting, watercolour and of course, drawing.
