Nature inspired Paintings.

Obviously I am inspired by nature and paint wild things but admit I am biased towards Butterflies, Moths and Wild plants.
Like many I work at home on a small table set aside for my painting, bigger would be better but Hey, how much space do you need to paint a Butterfly ?
There is always something to inspire me in any season but I am really a Spring and Summer person, this is because I get the
chance to work outside in warmer dry weather ( Watercolour and rain don't mix too well).
I do not do commission work as I paint what inspires me.
As for how I started, that was a long time ago when I wanted to illustrate a book and illustrators were expensive so I had a go at my own, the book never happened but I kept painting as I enjoyed it.
