so this is the size of an atc then? and you have no scanner....... have you tried laying your work on sheets of white printer paper and then photo it? amatuer info i know, :-p i like this painting lots of energy :-)

Great to see some of your work. I know I have seen some on your blog, but this is right up-to-date. For a small work, this is very dramatic.

This is lovely, I am liking oils quite a lot. I like especially the veiwpoint to the sea and sky through the drama of the valley.

I like this painting and its strong contrasts. Good to see some of your paintings posted. I know what you mean about photographing and getting them right. Colours often dont match and lighting the image to photograph is tricky - high points on the texture of the painted surface picking up extra light, shininess of the surface giving too much reflection - that you eye just looks right through and does not see when you look at the painting, but the camera sees it.

Love the light and shadows on this Robert, and the glint on the sea. Forget the difficulties of photographing small....painting them is something of a challenge, I find...

I would not have guessed that this is such a small painting. It would work well on a large scale too. Very striking. Love the contrast.

I have had the devil's own job photographing the small oils, this one is 7" by 5", I've been doing lately: if I get the proportions right, the colours are wrong. However, here's one, photographed as best I can. Whale Chine is a valley in which the Isle of Wight specializes, cut into the sandstone cliffs by centuries of sea erosion and land movement.
