Paintings from the very beginning of my journey

This is a collection of artworks I've created over the years, beginning from August 2012 using oils, followed by watercolours from July 2013 and artworks using acrylics plus mixed media projects I began creating from January 2014.
It's like a journal showcasing the eclectic range of artworks I have created over the years till the end of 2017 as well as showing those that went to lovely new homes.
