I suppose it is a truism to say that our tastes change as we grow older. Not in all things of course - I still love Duke Ellington and have done ever since I discovered him aged around 15, which is now some 45+ years ago. I still like the music I discovered as a student - Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention, Leonard Cohen.
...but what else? I ask this because for most of my life I have had no real interest in making art - I have had pictures on my wall and I have been taking photos almost as long as I have been listening to Ellington, but apart from a short lived attempt about 15 years ago I have never tried to paint. However, over the past 2-3 years, I have almost been overwhelmed by an urge to create. If you look at my photos, you will see a fair number of photomanipulations and that is where I started, but now I'm painting, making collage and making prints. So where is this coming from I wonder?
