Original Pen and Wash Paintings
by Denise Turner

Isn't it funny how a "chance" comment can change your way of life?
Since retiring from a successful career with my own interior design company, I had pondered with the idea that I wouldn’t mind trying a new hobby painting with watercolours, although I had never painted before in my life!
 
Whilst on a wonderful holiday on Holy Island, Northumberland, my husband, David, and I, drove over to Berwick on Tweed and walking around the town, chanced across the Lowry trail, which displays some of Lowry’s wonderful “matchstick men” paintings and he suggested “you could try painting that!”
 
Well, never one to turn a challenge down, this is how it all began……

My first attempt!
Little did I realise how addictive it would become, and I started copying the style of Lowry into local scenes….
Halstead High Street
Castle Hedingham
My background and love of architecture then became obvious as I moved on to painting pictures featuring buildings and houses….

And then to my surprise, commissions started coming in from friends and family to paint personalised pictures of their homes….

Crouch End
The Old Vicarage
Richmond
Along with their favourite holiday locations……

And then I received requests to paint wedding venues, both in the UK and abroad, which I supplied with a larger mount so that their guests could sign,  to keep as a memento of the wonderful occasion.
