You have to be inspired by people like this,
Sitting here feeling sorry for myself on wet rainny days then you see people like this that put a smile on your face & make you realize there is no limits.



sorry if you've seen this before,

I imagine you Brits have read/seen this, but it caught my eye. Having climbed a few rocks in Yosemite Valley back in the mid 70s, pre sci, it is absolutely amazing/stunning that someone using only his arms could climb El Capitan...WOW :) go UK.

Noone, beautiful paintings, your style is quite unique and wonderful. There is another art topic on this site, it's in the members only forum, in the Calling Zee Arteests thread, you might think about posting your youtube video and scanned art work there. Well done :mfromg:
