Hello all, I’m Christine from Malta and I’ve just joined your community here. I have been admiring Anthony’s paintings for a while but have only recently discovered this community so I was excited to join all of you here 🙂 I have been painting for some years, but a little bit over than a year ago I decided to take up painting full-time and I’m still adjusting and trying to find focus. I’m really passionate about realism and all its variations and would really love to connect with like-minded artists and be able to share our journeys. I would like to learn more about how to approach my work better since I didn’t get specific training in realism (although I studied art at University). And I’m confident this place will be a lovely safe place to do so. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Take care, Christine ---
