Skelton began his career as a graphic designer, which he studied at Glasgow School of Art. His art teacher at school had greatly encouraged his creativity, and Skelton continued to paint, putting work into a few galleries, until a few years ago demand for his paintings grew so that he could concentrate on it full time.
he is also nice
ReplyDeleteSo many of the pictures of children remind me of the style that was popular when I lived in Europe, in the 1960's. The style of very simplistic paintings, in basic colors, and children with large round eyes were all over the Paris art stalls then. I still have some of the water colors.
