Artist's Drawing & Inspiration
Woodland’s gallery
JILL GIMM
Hi, my name’s Jill and I wanted to share some of my paintings for Woodland’s Gallery. I grew up in a fairly artistic household, I remember going to art classes with my Mum and Dad when I was very young and I loved drawing & entering competitions as a child. Now I have teenagers of my own and in the last few years have finally managed to find some time to paint. I’m still at a very experimental stage, switching between acrylics and watercolours & have dabbled with oils. As you can see I haven’t stuck with one particular style yet! Attending a local art group where I live in the Swan Valley encouraged me immensely a few years ago. I find inspiration almost everywhere I look! I’m constantly seeing flowers, sunsets, trees, people - pretty much anything - and saying “I’d love to paint that!” Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy producing it!

Dear Simon,
My name is Lola Watts and I am 83 years “young”. I have been living on Bribie Island for the last 14 years. I am a water-colourist and belong to a group that paint every week at “the Bribie Island Community Arts Centre”.
I have been painting for quite a few years now but it wasn’t until I went to Paul Margocsy that I found I wanted to paint fur and feathers. It has taken me a long time with plenty of practice to reach this standard and I do hope you consider them worthy of your magazine.
