As you will see I am involved in many aspects of the art business but I always remember that the life blood of all my activities is the painting of original watercolours. Without that nothing else would follow. I am very fortunate that I work almost entirely to commissions and many of the images in this website have been reproduced from commissioned paintings.

I love painting pictures for people who like my work so if you are interested in talking to me about commissioning a painting contact me me first and I will spell out the implications of this including, of course, the costs involved and the time scale. One , I hope reassuring, aspect of this is the fact that after we have agreed what I am going to do and how much it is going to cost you, if you dont like the finished painting you do not have to pay for it....but you don't get it for nothing!! It goes into my stock of originals for sale to other clients. Only twice in the last 20 years has this happened to me and in both cases I sold the paintings quite quickly afterwards. So I am fairly confident I will be able to paint something for you. One problem, however, is there is a waiting list for originals which is currently about 18 months.
