In art, sometimes less is more. Look at these original oil paintings by art lecturer Abeer Fathy from Cairo in Egypt. The spaces on each painting are created by lines are simple and clear. The selected minimal number of colours and pure and clean. In combination with the compositions, the hues lead ones eye into and around the paintings. These modern landscapes are soft and peaceful, the two smaller paintings as warm as a grain of sand in the sun, and the enormous central piece, cool and peaceful with reflections that seem to trick the eye. Is the moon reflected on glass - are we standing in the room in this painting - or outside looking in? All exhude feelings of silence and tranquility.

In the beginning was the word...The most ancient and sacred of all things. Words like paintings can trigger emotions in each of us as individuals.

Hungarian artist Josef Foris from Budapest bravely paints watercolour paintings onto fast drying gypsum. The textures and translucent quality of his paintings is exceptional and unique on this website. His style is reminiscent of that of the post impressionist artists such as Van Gogh. The painterly quality of the paintings' surfaces is fascinating in combination with watercolour. These paintings are almost 'tactile'.

Watercolours are a difficult medium with which to paint - one error and the whole painting is ruined. Here is an excellent example of what a good watercolourist can achieve. Dorset artist William Lamprey has built up layers of watercolour paints, adding ever darker surfaces until he has achieved the perfect composition he sought. These are skilled works by the hand of a patient, experienced, professional artist. William is also clever with acrylics. He has achieved a great translucency in his painting of Salcombe Estuary. The water lookes as if it is shining by the light of the sky.

Artist Yuliya Vereshchuk from Manchester has given us, two quite different original acrylic paintings for sale. The first, (shown here) is a most imaginative, seductive portrait.

It has been said that the art of painting has been lost and that the young art students can no longer paint "real" paintings. Here is one example which tosses that theory into the ether. Here is an original portrait - oils on stretched canvas - for sale by a Glasgow art student. Artist Gavin Armstrong has produced an exceptional portrait of a man called Adam. Adam's thoughtful, character filled face is achieved through Gavin's skill in both the art of form and use of colour. What is really special about this portrait is that it appears timeless. Adam may be a sitter in the current day - or a figure from the past. A timeless peice of art and only Adam really knows what he is thinking about. Let us hope that Gavin continues with his studies and hope to see more from him in the years to come. A great artist to start collecting!
