I just love your style. It is crisp, colourful and always tells a story.

Oh, I love it! Seems like I've been there, such a familiar place and at the same time so magical and illusive... Your use of colours, composition and masterful handling of watercolour created such a distinctive wonderful style. Besides, as Thea said, your paintings always tell the story. Excellent, as ever.

Once party central of Regency Brighton, No 1 Regency Square had belonged to Harriet Duchess of St Albans. This was her second marriage her first had been to the head of Coutts Bank. On becoming a widow, Harriet had also become the wealthiest woman in Europe. So much history in our buildings that we take for granted.
