Richard Franklyn is a professional artist from Brighton (UK). He paints using gouache which gives his original paintings a special opaque quality. This is a perfect medium for good artists who - like Richard - are expert at producing figurative art because the surfaces on his subjects have a soft, smooth shine. Richard's paintings stand out because they are realistic yet, cleverly, not simple photographic reproductions. These are the works of a true artist - one who understands the relationships of colour tones, spacing and lines, and who has worked to achieve an exact desired effect. Would that my own skin was as downy as this "Pink Lady"'s - Richard has also sumbitted for sale a portrait of Rod Stewart. If Rod Stewart himself bought the portrait - and I looked as floaty and stunning as she - I would volunteer to deliver it myself!!

Artists paint best when they paint from their hearts. Lebanese artist Naim Elhajj obviosly knows this. He has taken the time to perfect his original acrylic paintings. Each colour, each brushstroke carefully considered and painted with love. This original acrylic painting is available for you to buy. When you own any original painting, it is the only one on earth. You could own these lips. The painting is entitled "Passionate Kiss". Wouldn't you like to own this?

Sometimes a view is more than just a scenic picture. When C.S Lewis created the magical land of Narnia, his inspiration came from a painting of a valley on the wall of his childhood home. That is the quality which I see the paintings from Irish artist Maureen Greenwood. In this original oil painting for sale by Maureen, called "Spring In The Tyrol" your eye is clevery led into a verdant, lush green valley similar to that which inspired C.S. Lewis, red poppies, green pastures and snow capped distant hills. Like great literature, a painting can capture your imagination and transport your thoughts to a beautiful place - far from any mundane reality. Like Van Gogh, Maureen has painted a sunflower - and like Van Gogh, she has taken the time to really look at one, then used her skill as an artist to paint the delicate translucent light through its petals and bring life to its centre. If you buy any of her paintings you will not tire of marvelling at her skill.

Artist Kate Challinor from Leeds in the North of England certainly knows how to handle acrylic paints. The realism she achieves is astounding. Kate also knows about composition - how to lead one's eye into the picture with soft curves and carefully selected hues. This deer is perfectly positioned in her original acrylic painting here for you to buy. We can imagine sitting, having spotted the deer and, catching our breath, watching as it stands, slightly startled - looking ready to spring from the canvas with any unexpected sound. The title tells us - there is none - the dawn is silent so he can relax again.

Here is a fantastic opportunity for you to start a collection of modern impressionistic and abstract art by popular Dorset artist Les Barker! Les has replaced the paintings he had for sale with a fresh collection - some smaller than before and all unmistakeably Les Barker paintings. Les has been a professional artist his whole life and you will not be disappointed when you receive an original painting by Les. Like Rene Magritte's anonymous men in bowler hats, Les barker paints anonymous shoppers in crowds - so familiar to us all as we try to go shopping anywhere in the UK. Les's people, painted as original acrylics with loose brush strokes are genrally wrapped up against the vagueries of the British weather. Les is well known in his home town of Dorset and has also lived for many years in Australia, and he still keeps in touch with many of his past customers there.

Johannesburg, where artist Malcolm Turner is from has as many trees as it has people. Malcolm's precisely executed, realistic South African landscapes and seascapes encompass some of that verdant greenness and the huge powerful natural wonders of nature, making one feel good to be part of it all. This landscape, aptly named "The Sojourners" includes a colourful little shanty town, as much part of the landscape as the yellowed fields and the circle of trees.

Now in his mid 30's, Romanian artist Borta Ambrozie Ovidiu is an experienced, established award winning artist. Borta paints exciting, original, surreal, abstract oil paintings. One might decsribe his using artistic intellectual terminology but Borta says that paints for people simply to smile when they look at his fine artworks. Quality always shows. These paintings show an artist able to paint to a very high standard.

Award winning artistic photographer Anya Smith is at the start of a career which. judging by these examples of her works, looks to become very successful. Anya seems to have an 'eye' for beautiful colour combinations and that transient abstract beauty that is there to be captured if you have the skilled eye to find them.

Like Constable before him, Dipika Patel lives in London and paints landscapes of far away places. In the UK this year we have suffered from rivers bursting their banks but nothing like Niagara Falls between New york and Ontario - where the river Nigara thunders deafeningly into gorges. If you have been there or want to go one day, perhaps you might love to have reminders on your walls in the form of an original acrylic riverscape painting by London Artist Dipika Patel.

Artist Jacqueline Pickstock from Coventry does not take her great talent as an artist for granted. Jacqueline works hard, always experimenting with new subjects and styles and broadening her skill base. Luckily she has not abandoned painting quality traditional fine-art figurative, portrait and wildlife works. These examples from Jacqeline's portfolio are all original oil paintings for sale. The reality achieved by Jaqueline's portraits is staggering. Her more modern oil paintings were produced after experimenting with digital technology - a great change from her portrait of the Virgin Mary or the lively wildlife painting of bluetits fighting.

East Anglian artist Tina Bone paints with precision and passion taking a long time to select and study her subjects before completing each work. The details and colours on her paintings are truly astounding. On this very large, accurate ornithological painting of a pheasant, the feathers bloom as on the living bird and the tiny seet pods on the grasses cling on as they blow in the breeze. This original watercolour painting was painted from Tina's artistic memory.

We welcome our first artist from Pakistan Shahzad Siddique. His first painting for sale with us is an interesting original oil landscape painting. Here is an elderly farmer in Kashir, tilling the ground with oxen pulling his wooden plough. This is as idyllic a scene as can be for those who eschew modern enviromnemtal waste, crowds and pointless struggles in modern city living. Continents change and society becomes ever more complex. Centres of commerce rise and fall through the centuries, and this farmer like millions of others is still there - rising early, feeding his animals, ploughing the land and planting his crops. Life is hard. Who has more contentment?
