It’s always a pleasure spotting an Angel Fish when snorkelling; they are not rare, but certainly not as common as Sergeant Major or Parrotfish. They have a majestic and peaceful manner about them and are beautiful to watch underwater. I could follow them for hours. I tried to capture this in my painting.

I was a nurse student then…I also started at that stage to initiate myself to art work with a friend of mine who was becoming a professional artist.
I met my husband during my nursing training and moved to the UK 1 year after qualifying as a registered Nurse. My career soon took off and I also became a mum with 3 children, one of whom is autistic. The consequence of this, was zero time for art.
However, 10 years ago, I picked up my courage and enrolled in an art group run by qualified teacher Jessica Shaw. On the first day, I felt like I was the new kid at school 😂, wondering what the devil stung me to give painting a go.
I could only attend sporadically as my time was divided between France and England and family commitments in both sides.
I think it was good to learn the basics with that group, which was as much about the social side of being with other artists. It reached a point where I felt that I was learning more by myself, so I started to use Youtube instead, seeing how other artists approached their work. I felt less frustrated by doing this and happier with my progress.
I have extended my work since leaving the art group, to all sorts of topics. I enrolled on a course for portrait painting, something I always wanted to do, but was scared to attempt. I completed my first portrait which I was thrilled with, as Mike Skidmore, my teacher, gave me the best compliments and encouragement I could hope for. He believed in me and at times when one gets down, it was the best therapy to spring back in confidence.
Having started painting properly about 8 years ago, I am now completely hooked, despite the frustrations and bad days when everything appears ruined. Renoir said “I have so much to learn”. Well, I just have to join the club and keep on learning.
I only came to terms with selling my paintings 2 years ago, as before I felt that I was selling my babies. I have given away a large amount to friends and family.

David worked professionally as a cinematographer, and was employed for thirty years at the BBC Television Film Unit. It is the skills learnt in his profession, of composition, perspective, lighting and colour that he endeavours to bring to his paintings.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, photography plays a large part in the inspiration for his paintings and he works entirely from his own photographs.
He can be inspired by almost any subject, but a lifelong love of the sea results in a strong bias towards maritime subjects.
David's preferred medium is water soluble oils on prepared board.
Member of Fareham Art Group and Gosport Art Group. David exhibits at Titchfield Arts and Crafts Show.

"Having tried a “do-it-yourself “ website construction, with horrible results, a friend recommended Chris.
I have been more than happy with the website he designed for me, and it has had a lot of positive reaction.
He has just produced a shiny new version, which is even better!"
"Dear Chris,
We are delighted with our art website. In addition to all the items we requested, you have added many artistic details that really enhanced the site.
We would also like to thank you for your patience, explaining and talking us through all the concepts we did not understand.
It has also been reassuring knowing that you are on the end of the phone ready to answer our queries as they arise.
It has been a pleasure working with you.
Best regards."
"This is the second website that Chris and Colette from Surrey Artists have designed for me and I am delighted with the result. They put in an amazing amount of work collating a large amount of detail to ensure my paintings are professionally displayed.
The finished website has already attracted a large number of serious enquiries some of which have been converted"
