Welcome to this weekend’s bonus artist thread ,I try to being new artist to theses threads and artists that I hope will inspire you or at lest you like their artwork . This week’s artists is relatively new to me, I came across him about two weeks ago whilst researching another artist , I was instantly taken by his landscapes then came across his marine art . Well I have to admit I was blown away and to be honest peed off as I haven’t seen his work before, my two favourite subjects and here is a man who paints them so beautifully. I will stop chattering on and drooling over his art and let you see for yourself and decide what you think of them.  I do hope you enjoy viewing them.

What fabulous work! A new one for me also, and some of these marine pieces are among the best I’ve seen for some time!

I though his work would appeal to you Alan, especially the maritime ones. I think he is good at bath landscapes and marine painting, there are some really good pieces online , he was quite prolific.

I like the way he uses warm colours in a lot of his work - especially the third of Paul’s selection ‘Spice Market’.    Of the maritime scenes, I like best the one with Tower Bridge in the background - sure I’ve seen this somewhere before, but it’s probably a scene painted by many artists.

I really admire his maritime work, although the fourth and fifth of Paul's first selection are very appealing, showing, as they do, the same scene in night and day.

What a terrific artist! The Morrocan like paintings capture the heat of the day with such depth of colour and yet the maritime are full of atmosphere and movement, just great!
