Landscapes, Portraits and Still Life in Acrylic and Oils
As a painter, colour is key to almost everything I do. I paint mostly in my home studio, but attend classes and courses to expand my knowledge and push me out of my comfort zone.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
I have exhibited in local exhibitions, Surrey Open Studios and in the boutique Travelling Bazaar in Farnham. I am a member of Farnham Art Society and Odiham Art Group and attended Crossbarn Art taught by Jamel Akib.

Art, Painting Commissions and Prints from Hampshire Artists
Artist: Nicholas John Walsh
Artist: Nicholas John Walsh
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.

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.
