Link to the website of Henderson Art
  • Site Name: Henderson Art
  • Site description: Original Techno/Psychedelic/Impressionist/Organic Digital Abstract Art by Tim Henderson.
  • Editors comment: The image on the left, 'Honey' is a very poor reproduction, it just does not do the work justice. If you can spend a little time visiting Tim's site you will see what I mean. This image has a depth of richness that I struggle to describe, the golden effects are beautiful, the light seems to bubble up from within and radiates out to the edges in smooth gentle sweeps. You really do need to see it at its full resolution. Excellent.

Link to the website of artist Susan Shaw - Art By Susan
  • Site name: Art By Susan
  • Site description: Landscapes and woodlands/Scenes of Cumbria and the Lake District/Boats Coasts and Harbour's.
  • Editors comment: The Lake District, ahh, for those who have never been fortunate enough to have ever been there, you are missing one of natures great jewels. The washy skies and the incredible colours on display would take anyone's breath away. This painting is of one of those typically moody days that really are synonymous with the Lakes. I have to confess that Susan has me just slightly envious of the owner of that house. This painting is another one of her amazing views of life that is all around us..

Link to the website of artist Paul Griggs
  • Site name: The Paul Griggs Collection
  • Site description: Original contemporary oils on canvas. Ideal for the home, office or showroom.
  • Editors comment: This artist has a way of using blue tones to great effect, they do indeed give a sense of calm, this painting, 'Misty Waters' gives me a sense of cold as well, it must be the misty effect achieved by the extremely soft blending that Paul seems to excel in.

  • Site name: John Shaw's Original Oil Paintings
  • Site description: I describe myself as a versatile artist with a keen interest in all subjects, I just love painting, please take a look at my original oil paintings, completed at my own artist studio in Cornwall.
  • Editors comment: What can I say, captivating is but one word. Again John displays this awesome gift of recognition of life, the ability to be able to draw like this to an exacting standard is not possessed by too many artists. The skill of the technical drawing is followed up with the precise application of the oil paint. The brushwork shown to great effect by the stopping of time itself with the surf breaking around the ladies knees. The gentle reflection just reminds us of the sun on her back. You want to see this painting in its larger format, then you will appreciate it more.
    The price? £125.00, it's a steal.

Link to the website of artist John Davis
  • Site Name: John Davis
  • Site description: The site showcases original oil paintings by John Davis
  • Editors comment: This artist has an extensive collection of paintings on display, this painting here is exceptional because of the feeling within the painting. The Violin Player almost looks real, one can sense the concentration he is giving to his work, John has somehow captured the moment perfectly without over painting the subject. Some of the paintings have a simplicity that beggars belief, having said that they all follow through with this 'easy going' look to them. I'm sure they were anything but easy to paint, a good artist makes painting look easy, that's a fact. Pay the artist a visit and see for yourself.
    Just give a little time to reading the first paragraph on John's homepage, both interesting and accurate.

Link to the website of artist David Hargreaves
  • Site Name: David Hargreaves artwork
  • Site description: Watercolour and ink paintings of locations around Monkseaton, Tynemouth, France and Italy.
  • Editors comment: 'Amsterdam Bicycles' is the name of this painting, I have chosen this one as representative of the majority of David's work. It is a refreshingly different style, I actually love the style. The artist has a 'loose' style, the way he treats perspective is brilliantly different. The buildings in this painting say it all, the bicycles are another example, a unique piece of work. I can honestly recommend you to pay a visit, there are many paintings on display and several pencil drawings too. I love them all.

  • Site Name: Art2Arts - Original Canvas Art
  • Site description: Hand painted original designs on canvas. Much of the work can be custom made to suit your interior space. All artwork comes with FREE UK delivery.
  • Editors comment: The name of this work is 'Beyond The Reef' it is quite beautiful. The clever bubble effects I find very attractive, the distant light as well, very effective. What I I do find quite breathtaking with this site is the sheer amount of work that is on display. I really do think that whatever work, style, you are looking for, then you may well find it here.

Link to the website of artist Sam Austrin-Miner
  • Site Name: Watercolours by Sam Austrin-Miner
  • Site description: Prints of Scottish Watercolour Landscape Paintings by Sam Austrin-Miner
  • Editors comment: It is a pleasure to see so many watercolours in one site, Sam has a style that I adore, letting the pigment of the paint do the talking. This image here is a typical painting, the artist uses the 'wet in wet' style that was promoted to huge success by John Blockley. The artist wets the paper and just at the right time drops in the paint, I say the right time because if it's the wrong time mud is the result. Sam has no muddy paintings at all. Beautiful prints at an excellent price, which averages £36.00. Go and take a look, what an excellent Christmas gift to a discerning art lover!

  • Site Name: Watercolours by Sam Austrin-Miner
  • Site description: Scottish Watercolour Landscape Paintings by Sam Austrin-Miner
  • Editors comment: Beautiful watercolours as they are meant to be, loose, with many washes being allowed to run into one and other, albeit intentional. This style allows nature to almost take over, the artist seems to have nature under control as these washes have settled where they were meant to be. All of Sam's work follows this theme, he picks out a focal point and then works around it being very careful about what to leave out, what to leave out is important, difficult even. I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy a visit to Sam's site, I have.

Link to the website of artist Geoffrey Smith
  • Site Name: Paintings of London by Geoffrey Smith
  • Site description: Oil paintings of London, Venice, Provence, Cornwall and Yorkshire for sale and commissioned
  • Editors comment: 'Thames from Lambeth Bridge' here is one of Geoffrey's London paintings, it accurately represents all of the artists work. The houses of parliament is the perfect backdrop for the boats in the foreground, what isn't clear in my image is the perspective of the painting as a whole, it is complex. The artist mentions the wave patterns bringing a sense movement to the painting, they do, and they do it well. What you cannot see from my thumbnail is the complications of the waves, you really do need to see the full size image to appreciate the work involved in these. A confident painting by a confident artist and one I can fully recommend to you.

Link to the website of artist Claire Ward
  • Site Name: claire ward botanical art & photography
  • Site description:  gallery of botanical art,nature and landscape photography.
  • Editors comment:  Claire has many paintings, and digital images, but I have chosen this one just because of it's glorious colour, excellent colour perspective and tone. All of the necessary ingredients for a painting to succeed. Just look at the beautiful pinks of the Foxglove, so true to life it beggars belief. Claire is a wonderful talent and deserving of your time, lovely work.
