One of the oldest art forms, painting is constantly evolving as a means of investigation and expression. This field captures the full range of visual expression, from assembled, built-up, large-scale, almost three-dimensional abstract works, to traditional figurative oil paintings, and everything imaginable in between. Almost always this is a solitary undertaking, involving considerable time alone in the studio. Like other fine art forms, success and fame can come quickly to some people or they can be elusive and slow to arrive for other artists. In the end, regardless of remuneration, it is the pleasure and the challenge of visual expression that drives all painters.
