  • Wonderful Message Today

    Wonderful Message Today

    I had the following message today from a customer who had purchased my painting 'Titchfield Haven IX ' a couple of years ago. "I just wanted to drop you a quick note of appreciation as I am sat here in my kitchen with my morning coffee as I do most mornings staring at your beautiful picture. The sunlight is streaming in through the open French doors picking up all the gold in the reeds and marsh grasses and really bringing it to life. I feel like I could almost walk into it, like that old man in the Box of Delights. I just wanted you to know that your painting puts a smile on my face every day, thank you". What a wonderful message for any artist to receive. This is worth much more than gold and is very welcome today!

    Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2023

    Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2023

    I have just made my submission for Sky landscape Artist of the year 2023. It is difficult to select a painting that is out of the ordinary and will catch those judges eyes! In the end I selected my 'Hillier Gardens Pond' painting. Having been a wild card in 2018 and 2020, this is my best pitch for one of those pods!

    Dispatch to the USA

    My large 102 cm x 102 cm painting 'Weymouth Beach I' is the 20th painting of the 61 paintings that I have sold through Artfinder that I have dispatched to the USA. It is great to have this continued support from American customers. This one certainly took some packaging up for its journey!
