"Bluebell Woods"

My name is Leslie O'Shea and I am married with 3 children and 6 grandchildren. I am in my late 50's. My occupation is Bespoke Tailor. Over the last few years I had and interest in painting and was encouraged to further this interest by my wifes uncle, Tommy Valentine. I prefer to work in water colour or acrylics.

Anne Saxon

My name is Anne Saxon, I have been a member of the Bury Art Society for about ten years. I enjoy being a member and find it offers a variety of experiences. I especially like going out on location sketching. My favourite place is Greenside where we go at least once a year for a short
holiday.

I try working in most mediums, I experiment with mixed media. This particular painting of the Grand Canyon is an oil on canvas; when I visited the Canyon many years ago I was awe struck by its vastness and complexity. I aim to attempt further work of this subject but will try different mediums.
