My name is Ernest C Brewer, usually referred to as "Ernie", born in 1945 which makes me a 'baby boomer' . 

I have always been interested in working with my hands photography, candle making, macramé, mosaic's (before it became popular), tapestry pictures, woodworking, wood turning,  some  wood carving, oil painting (just a couple of attempts), stained glass, Tiffany glass, and now watercolours.

My great love nowadays is my glass work and watercolours (new but really exciting).  The last two feature predominately on this web site.

From the list of interests you perhaps can see a pattern, many of them are 'left sided' brain activities - logical and structured - as was most of my working life, my challenge is to enjoy my prime interests using more of the 'right sided' brain - more sense and feeling / artistic.  So my personal 'Watercolour Challenge' is to paint what I see rather than what I know is there, let it flow rather than analyse everything in detail - overcome years of education, training and work experience.
