Client Testimonials
"I am delighted with the landscape paintings which represent a great example of your skill and artistic talent. They also remind me so much of happy times spent in Pembrokeshire West Wales many years ago."

""Hi Chris, Jackie loved her pet portrait painting of Ben. I managed to get it framed in a black wood grain chamfered frame, before Christmas and I wrapped it in gift wrap with another photo of Ben all over it; to make it an extra special gift. See attached photo of Ben with his Mum."

"We love the painting Chris, we've hung it in the bedroom for now, but we're going to hang it above the fire in the lounge as soon as we've made room."

Outdoor Landscape Paintings & Field Studies
Painting in Pembrokeshire
Out for a day's oil painting beside the river Teifi near Cardigan in beautiful West Wales.
Using Watercolour Outdoors
My Winsor and Newton watercolour field set, a compact and ingenious painting set-up.
Welsh Plein Air Painting
Painting with friends on a beautiful summer's day at Llanerchaeron near Aberaeron in west Wales.
Although the majority of my larger oil paintings are painted at home in my art studio, I spent a good deal of time out in the British countryside gathering reference material, making preparatory sketches and trying out ideas as smaller scale oil paintings using my pochade box or as watercolours in my sketchbook, back at my Welsh art studio I then work these field sketches into finished pieces.
