Bill Makinson 'Beeches And Daisies' Canvas Art

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features white flowers sitting around a river running through a field.Although I had no formal training, it was obvious at school that I had a gift for art and crafts. I was happy doing bookbinding with artistic gold leaf lettering embossed on the cover and spine, but I was thrilled when it was the art lesson and always attempted more adventurous subjects. Drawing on location at a local farm was always a memorable time. Music and sport were other subjects that I excelled. Woodwork was a particularly favourite subject that I was skilled at, and making furniture was something I would have like to have done on leaving school. But things don�t always work according to plan and I suppose I am lucky just how things have turned out.
