# About me
Just joined, still uploading, 'twill take a few days to get sorted, please be patient.Meantimes, for those of you that like to read bio's, here's the one I usually hang on my booth when I'm exhibiting... and yes, that's a very old photograph of me...
Vyvyan Green
Yorkshire-born, Vyvyan attended Wakefield College of Art in 1963 and 1964. Giving up his studies, he pursued a career in construction, eventually moving to Canada in 1980.
It was not until 1987 that he picked up his brushes again. Since that time he has become a full-time artist and has displayed his works in many one-man and multiple-artist shows and exhibitions, and was elected into the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour in 1996.
Working almost exclusively in watercolour, he has developed a unique style, and is noted for his creation of mood and movement. His choices of subject and sources of inspiration are rich and varied; the world around him, memory, music, literature........
Whether his images are of actual places, or drawn from his imagination and subconscious, they all have one thing in common - his attempt to capture and reveal a world that, as he constantly reminds us, βsmokesβ.
He lives in Stratford, Ontario.

Well then amici, I just took a bit of a stroll throughout your gallery, and found it to all be very enjoyable. I am a real mark for watercolour, especially when completed so masterfully as your own work.

It's not a problem amici. An artist is a brother or sister who lives a seperate life than mine own.
