Pembridge, Herefordshire by mark whittaker

I had a look at your gallery and I googled you (saw your website): this is stunning work. Are you painting as a hobby or do you do it as a professional. If not, you could certainly make a living out of it. There is so much detail in your work, beautiful subjects and good compositions. Congratulations.

I just couldn't believe that this was pastel work - tell me, do you ever use water with it? It flows in your painting as beautifully as watercolour - you'd enjoy painting on the Isle of Wight, if this is a typical sample of your work...... come down here and paint All Saints, Freshwater, very near to where I was born - I know you'd make a superb job of it.
