About

Left without the use of my right arm/hand following a serious motor cycle accident in 2005 I have learnt to adapt to life with a brachial plexus injury. I have developed a style of playing guitar with one hand, play a Red Kite mountain dulcimer and have taken up painting. Starting with fairly realistic watercolours I have progressed to using pastels with charcoal in an abstract expressionistic style (I think!) With a great interest in, and fondness for wildlife I am a volunteer with the Lake District Osprey Project.

This blog is a cross between a diary and a rant vehicle, an unfocussed canvas for sketching wordplay and images. Let’s see what happens.

Great to see your work. I love the Lakes and lived in Grange-over-Sands for a few years where we had a studio space. I always feel we were privileged indeed! I’m following.

Thanks Nicholas. It is a wonderful area to live and everyday I feel lucky to have that privilege.

Thank you Shaun!

No worries..
Hope you are keeping good Keith

Your work is a pure, unadulterated joy to see.
Have been passionate about watercolors always.
Yours are just gorgeous~

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Hi Keith, I had seven breaks in my right leg and a collapsed lung from a motorcycle accident. I was hit broadside. My motorcycle flew seventeen feet before the skid marks started. My injuries could have been a lot worse. I admire your ability to adapt to the loss of your arm.

Cheers,
Dennis
