Shirley Flinn

Why I paint, well, it makes me feel good, the satisfaction of a job done to the best of my ability. That’s not to say I don’t struggle because I do. Working through the struggle and achieving success, is part of the pleasure. My medium of choice at this time is oil. I find it is a good friend, it can be thin or fat, have a forgiving nature and be a joy to spend time with even when it’s being difficult. I enjoy doing portraits, documenting a moment in an individual’s life for all time.
