I was born in Poulton-Le-Fylde, Nr Blackpool in 1947. I studied art at school and have continued drawing
and painting on and off throughout my life. Encouraged by my wife, Janet, I started painting seriously in 2011
and have exhibited in a small way in local exhibitions. Since retiring from work in March of this year, I can now devote more time in pursuing my passions for painting and writing Chri
stian poems and verse. I have always had a love for the countryside and having lived and worked in the Lake District for over twenty years, my inspiration comes from the beauty of the natural features that surround us in nature and the countryside. I also paint more contemporary pictures inspired through Creation which is depicted in my block pictures of Sunsets and Heaven Scapes. I love to paint in oils and exhibit wherever I can. I am looking to take commissions for oils on canvas or canvas board
from pictures or photographs, of favourite scenes etc. I am also a Christian poet, and have recently published my first two books. These are available to purchase either as soft back books or as E books on Amazon or Email me for further information. Details of these books can be found on-line by typing in Keith Furlong poet
