Location: United States
My name is Netta Pickering.
I was born in Northern Ireland and came to America in 1956. I have been drawing since I was a young child.
I have had no formal training of any kind other than in secondary school. I have painted in oils, acrylics, watercolors and pastels, I am currently working in Soluble Oils, I have done some commissioned work from time to time.
I paint mostly with Soluble Oils. I am hoping to do some oils in the future. I will paint almost any subject if it interests me!

“Reflections, Canada Geese on Lake”
My daughter lives on a lake in Florida, and I photographed these geese there.

I saw this dog sitting the driver's seat looking like he belonged there, and couldn't resist taking his photo! this was on Cape Cod.
