Whats New?
Davie Howes
Growing up on the Norfolk coast, England, I spent most of my youth in the company of amazing artists who sparked my passion for landscape painting and portrait drawing.
Daily I would sit and watch as portraits were drawn as customers posed in true seaside fashion.
Many of these artists became dear friends and also helped me on my way to a career as a musician/ entertainer.
My 27 years in the entertainment industry has let me see the sunset at sea in one country and rise in another some times 6 months of the year. I now feel more passionate towards my art than ever before and I’m sure my travels, and of course “getting older” have played a big part in my new adventure.
Norfolk is one of the flattest areas in the UK and 360° sky views are common place, how can you not fall in love with the landscape and ever changing colour and feel.
I now feel it time to capture some of this and watercolour feels the best medium for me.
I really hope you'll follow my journey as I experiment with this crazy sometimes frustrating medium as I feel once I master a few new techniques the progress should happen fairly quickly (I hope!).
