Remember when after a year, I got totally bored of Remember when after a year, I got totally bored of waiting for an NHS Gender Clinic appointment? When I went to London for a privately paid for gender appointment. Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc. Remember when after three and half years, I got my very first NHS Gender Clinic appointment? Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc. Today I had NHS Gender Clinic appointment no2...

'Buena Vista Vineyard' - 2021 collage, acrylic, i 'Buena Vista Vineyard' - 2021 collage, acrylic, ink, pencils, pens on paper 42 x 30cm Making art for me is all about the moment, the actual process of creating it. That's when my art really affects me, regardless of how the end product looks. Usually once I've finished creating something I detach and distance myself from it fairly quickly. Sometimes I like the artwork, sometimes I don't. But for me, liking is not massively important. I make the art for me and then it's up to everyone else to enjoy it if it pushes their buttons... And then occasionally I create something that I really really like ๐Ÿ™‚ Something that pushes my own buttons. Which is making it fairly hard to detach from this right now. But I will ๐Ÿ™‚ @posca_uk @rembrandtartistpaint @colourcraftltd #art #artwork #mixedmedia #collage #portrait #portraits #portraitartist #drawing #pencils #ink #brusho #posca #poscapens

Endless blood tests, with another one this week ๐Ÿ™„ After a three and a half year wait the NHS finally took over my treatment this summer and I've got appointment number two in a few weeks time.

So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints ๐Ÿ’— This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before.
