Thanks Patricia, I'm nterested to hear of your time in Crete I'm trying to think of ways to do something similar! Unfortunately work and dogs get in the way!
Annie, It was so many years ago that it amazes even me! I had no responsibilities at that time...only a tiny sum of money that went very far. The standard of living was primitive but it was fun. I recently met up with one of the people that I met at that time on line. It was fun to look back at my little watercolors and line drawings in my journal. I can remember the quality of light distinctly.
My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!

Wow, I spent three months in Crete many long years ago. I painted, drew and had many strange adventures.
I love your work!
