Art, Painting Commissions and Prints from Hampshire Artists
Artist: Nicholas John Walsh
Artist: Nicholas John Walsh
I love colour and I remember feeling excited when looking at all the flowers in full bloom. Ramster Gardens is a magical location, and has an enormous range of trees and plants. I used a large combination of warm colours for the foreground and cool colours for the background, to give an impression of distance.
The end result is very close to the actual scene.

Fine Artist and Art Tutor
Oil Paintings, Pen and Ink Drawings
I am a Fine Artist based near Hartley Wintney in Hampshire but I also spend a few months of the year in Marbella in Spain, where I paint on location.
I studied ‘visual communications’ and completed a foundation course in the late 1980’s - gaining a distinction at the Cardiff Institute of Art and Design. I then worked in London as an Art Director for a number of leading agencies, before deciding to concentrate on oil painting and pen and ink drawing. I have been classically trained and my style has been described as similar to that of the 'Impressionists'.
My paintings and drawings are for sale and can be viewed on this Hampshire Artists site and in the Gallery of my website. I am also available to undertake commissioned work.
I offer art lessons.
Art Lessons
I am in the process of setting up art classes in the evenings for the Fleet area of Hampshire in the UK, and also in Marbella in Spain. I will naturally be teaching adult students how to paint in oils, and will also be concentrating on developing their drawing techniques.
The objective of the courses will be to focus on individual requirements. Everybody has their own preferences regarding what they like to paint or draw. I will endeavour to improve a student’s skill level, so they become more confident and proficient.
I also will be organising groups to join me during some weekends drawing and painting landscapes on location.
If you would like to know more about these lessons please contact me on the numbers or email address above.

The Second Coming
The painting developed into a mythical representation of a new beginning, because of the nature of the composition. I noticed a person standing far away in the distance from one of the photographs I had taken. The sheer scale of the rhododendron trees makes a powerful image, especially with an almost biblical sky. I used several layers of paint to create a dramatic effect. I wanted to draw the viewer into the landscape. Notice how the flower heads stand up in salute to the brilliant light drilling down from above.

Lily Pond at Brockley End
The pond at Brockley End sits at the front of the house where my brother lives with his wife. I have been admiring it now for several years. I have taken plenty of photographs, and made sketches in charcoal, pencil and pen and ink. The pond is continually changing in appearance, especially the water. It can look mediterranean-blue one minute and coal pit – black the next.

Mike Johnson
Original Paintings in Oils and Acrylic and 3D Works
Always enthusiastic about drawing, Mike started by copying from comic books at the age of about seven or eight.
Pursuing further education in art was not encouraged at school (or home) so he studied zoology, sometimes known as the ‘artist’s science’ (possibly because of the amount of drawing involved).
A long career in computer software development didn’t allow for too much artistic progress, so Mike is now making up for lost time. He is fairly prolific and generally paints subjects based on places that he knows and enjoys, using either oils or acrylics.
Although his paintings are fairly figurative, his inclination is towards more abstraction. Unfortunately, the left side of the brain doesn’t always share this ambition and has an undue influence on the results.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
Chichester Art Society, Portsmouth Art Society, Chichester and Hayling Island Arts Trail and Hampshire Open Studios.
Mike exhibits regularly, including the Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society Summer Exhibitions, Oxmarket Centre of Arts Exhibitions and the Chichester and Hayling Island Arts Trail.

Karen Eames
Mixed Media Artist
Landscapes and Seascapes
Based in Chalkhill Studio, Oliver's Battery, Winchester, Hampshire, Karen originally trained and worked as a nurse. She always painted in her spare time.
Karen achieved her lifetime dream when she had the opportunity to study Fine Art at Winchester School of Art and Design. She has exhibited throughout the UK and beyond. Her love for painting continues to develop and her work is often expressive, dreamlike and captures a sense of place. Karen enjoys working across media, especially cold wax medium. Her work uses colour, texture and form to capture semi-abstract landscapes and seascapes. The texture is created in layers and she experiments with many different mark-making tools. She explores painting from a deeper level, often relating to personal, visual experiences of her everyday life.
Karen’s painting has a more intuitive approach, which she develops through self-reflection and spending time walking her dogs. She works in sketchbooks on site and completes the paintings in her studio.
“Landscapes and skies are often overlooked, they surround us and yet can be missed as we are caught up in our busy lives. I sketch on site; I like the idea of paintings being part memory and part real. I have an intuitive approach to art, preferring to explore the colours of dreams rather than reality”
They become part real and part of my dreamscape. They allow me to free myself from the reality of the everyday.”

Karen has exhibited throughout the UK and beyond.
