Thank you so much for that welcome and comments Carole and Dennis having seen both your gallery's along with Fiona's and other artists, I am sure I am going to find this a very positive experience, including the observations and tips that are being posted on my work, thanks to all who have viewed and commented on my work.

Hi Malcolm I like the outdoors and go for long country walks Mondays and Fridays . I take photos while I am walking and these usually form the basis of my paintings . I don't however stick to the original photo and I change the atmosphere and move things around to improve the composition . I do usually catch the essence of the places though your a great addition to p.o.l and I welcome you .

Like Fiona, I have really enjoyed looking at your work Malcolm, so pleased you decided to to show us😊

Thanks for that Fiona there are still a few more sketches to come eventually, thank you for your comments and observations on my work.

Thank you for sharing your work with us on the gallery Malcolm, especially your sketch books as they are quite personal to you and your experiences. I've enjoyed seeing them.
