Derek Panes

My name is Derek Panes .Thanks for visiting my page. I hope you like it and enjoy the rest of Ken`s galleries.

I was born at the Rock, Argoed and now live on a little hill farm at Bedwellty where the views in all directions are delightful, encouraging me to paint whenever I have the time.

I attended Lewis School Pengam during the War years when my interest in painting was triggered, although facilities were poor and opportunities to visit art galleries non-existant.

I started painting just prior to my retirement at 60 from a careers in mechanical engineering, 35 years as a design and project engineer after a short service in the RAF and an apprenticeship with the English Electrical Company at Rugby.

I paint for my own pleasure and also enjoy chatting about painting with like minded folk. I am trying to make my paintings less detailed and tight, quite difficult after years of being extremely precise in everything I did before retirement. I believe that pictures should represent feelings rather than actuality.

I hope you like these examples of my work. If you would like to talk to me about them please email me. All images are copyrighted to the artist, not to be used without permission.
