This weeks bonus artist is Tony Wooding , born in 1969 known mostly as a wildlife artist, who lives and works in his North Wales Studio. Tony became a professional artist at the age of eighteen, his reputation had since spread to include the Uk, Europe and beyond. He said he is always looking for a new challenge in his artwork. I hope you enjoyed my choices of his artwork.

Paul, I recognised the first image - we looked at this artist a couple of months ago (week 155), but worth seeing again.

I don’t recall seeing his work before. I do very much like those last three landscapes; terrific trees.

As I made the mistake of posting the work of an artist we have already seen I decided to add another to the thread . Michael Sanders , bio via The Art Group.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Right up my pigeon, as someone once inadvisedly said, getting their metaphors mixed.

I like this artist’s seascapes and his paintings of the shoreline and marshes.  This one is called Marsh Lavender.  Interesting choice, Paul, good to see something a bit different.

Fantastic - must visit his website, I think there's spatter here (well, I'm sure there is) and generally I react badly to that, but it most assuredly works in his hands.

His landscapes are impressive though I couldn't help thinking he likes to explore variations of the same theme - not necessarily a bad thing.  I chose this one because it was different to his landscapes, but if you compare it to the townscape Paul has shown above, you'll see the variations on a theme trend.

Two admirable artists.   In the first, the repost, I especially like the elephant painting.  I like his other work too.  When artists go for the realist style, it’s sometimes hard to tell one artist from another…but I can still appreciate the work. Micheal Sander’s work is also impressive, I prefer Tony’s example, and the work he referred to in Paul’s selection.  These more intimate townscapes, I suppose, have more appeal for me.
