Algarve painter's photostream

From the age of 3 or 4 years, I was always drawing, painting and sewing. Admitedly, not very well, but it became an important part of my life - maybe a bit of an obsession. I studied Fine Art Painting at Bath Academy of Art from 1976-79, and after that found it necessary to get a job to earn money, which I did for about 14 years. Then the urge to start painting again became too strong to ignore and my life events helped bring about a situation from which I could begin again.


After about eight years that situation ended, and I realised I really wanted to live abroad. This was a good decision painting-wise, as the landscapes of the Algarve really helped me to find my painting style.


I moved from Brighton, UK 6 years ago to a small hamlet near Monchique in the Western Algarve. Since living here, the scenery and places of the Algarve have become my source of painting and creative inspiration.

On Flickr I like to post photos of the places that make it into my paintings, and the odd bit of other stuff in my life at the moment, as well as photos of the actual paintings.

See my website for all my currently available paintings: www.lizallenart.com.

Some of my paintings are now available as prints from Easyart.com. To see my work there, you can cut and past this link:
