Not like a painter, dancer, musician etc. I must admit though that you do have to have an eye for the right picture at the right time, but I think it is more luck. There are people who post fantastic pictures on the blogs, but to me it is just an interpretation of an event, We do the easy stuff!!

Being a tour guide for so many years, I have met people from all walks of life. If you just show the slightest interest in anyone, even if it is just a smile, the response back is positive. A lovely painting too. I don't have an artistic bone in my body.
