Is it Important to Know Your Program Owners Real?
Knowing that program owners are real is a major boost to your confidence when you are considering the merits of the program.
Check out this link to read the article by Wealthy Affiliate member who has met Kyle and Carson.

Is it really Free? you ask ( I did!)
Yes working towards your freedom is FREE!
If you’ve looked at my pages the start of your journey is a mental one.
Asking questions and making choices.
Once you’ve done that there are various routes to getting free. The approach I recommend is using Wealthy Affiliates.
You can join for Free, and stay Free as long as you like.
You will learn loads and build a business that suits you. And you can do this for Free!
However most of us recognise that paying does give you more. So is it really free? Yes you keep all the entry level training, can read all the comments from all members, paid and free. Your two sites are there for you to develop as you wish, using the content you chose and they remain yours for as long as you wish.
When, and only when, you are convinced it’s beneficial to go premium do I suggest you part with some cash. Then your first month is at a reduced rate.
But you can stay free as long as you like!
Feel free to drop a comment or ask a question, I’d feel it a privilege to help.

Being able to get out in the countryside, To spend a couple of nights in a tent with only my wife, a good book some art materials and camera.

No phone signal, no contact with work. No Facebook.
A time to wind down from the normal stresses of everyday life.
Freedom to sit and read!
Recharging the batteries.
This is what freedom means to me.
To do this more often I’m working on my own small business. You can do this too and free up your time by being in control of your time and finances.

And what does Freedom Mean For You?
On my pages I explore what freedom means for me and give suggestions as to what it might mean for you. Then Freedom will make you more independent.
So I ask how do I become free? and more independent?
By setting your goals helps plan the way to go.
How to get there often includes identifying obstacles in your path.
Here you will find my approach to overcoming some of them.
Thinking about being free is the first step, (I think you’re already part way there ;-))
The next is planning your way (My pages will help set goals and identify what’s holding you back).
Then the others pages give practical advice on cutting loose from those restrictions and …..
Soon you’ll be Living in Freedom!

Another watercolour with a bit of inked detail.
8″ x 5″ on 140lb watercolour paper.
Having done the picture before measuring for a mount I found that it was a little short
So in came the drystone wall. Phew I really must get into the habit of using regular sizes before I start !! (wonder how many times I’ve said that?)
I’m just thankful I wasn’t photographing the scene then I’d have had to build the wall and the sun would have gone down!

I don’t just paint on paper!…….
I love the feel of small, smooth pebbles and often paint tiny pictures on them.
Here are a few I’ve made into pendants.
I have some on my shop at the MISI.co.uk site
http://www.misi.co.uk/store_info.php?user_id=1216
MISI stands for “Make It Sell It”
and contains all sorts of hand made items.
It’s a UK site but many artists ship goods worldwide.
These pebbles were found on Bournemouth beach and were painted on the beach………………..
This cartoon was drawn for a collegue of my wife.
He is an avid Portsmouth Football Club fan.
Supplied with plenty of insider information I was able to include plenty of personal details.
The SBS are at large.
Similar Baby Squad that is not the Special Boat Service.
I’m not sure which could cause most trouble!
I’m just glad that my 6 children came one at a time otherwise it could have been real fun!!!
Drawn with pen and ink. Background filled in with ink using a technical pen.
Colour from watercolour pencils.
A cartoon drawn during a parents evening at my daughter’ school.
Actually it wasn’t anything like the cartoon suggests.
It just sparked off my imagination.
It’s what could happen !
All packed and nowhere to go.
Plastic bag his suitcase,
Bin his supermarket,
Other strays his friends.
The Clutter Dance.
This was inspired by a friend’s wedding celebration.
Once the initial subjects were drawn (central man and woman holding hands) I had to fill the remaining space with other images that would fit. Makes the picture somewhat surreal.

Drawn in ink and painted in gouache.

Here’s a recent AECO picture I drew “Tulip”
on eBay until Mon. 7 Sept see Link “Tulip eBay”
ACEO is a form of artist trading card.
They measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches and are highly collectable.
eBay has a special category and “group”
I drew the picture with Inctense water soluble pencils.
They have a more vivid appearance than watercolour pencils.
Following the drawing I washed over the picture lightly to give a painted effect.
A friend visited a music shop
and found that his 2 year old son had a passion for the drums!
The cartoon is how my mind saw it.
Our church art group got together to make some masks (crocodile heads) for a play at the Bridge Church.
Here’s a picture of some of the fun. See more at

Have you ever got so tied up with routine, tradition etc that you found yourself doing unnecessary work?
I drew this cartoon a while ago after someone at church talked about Habits having good and bad points.
