Well, I'm a London loner by choice...partly so I can enjoy your kind of art with freedom!
And thank you for enjoying my work too. I've had some luck exhibiting this past year so that's been a real boost!

Hello. I love the dedication you have to your work. I have a couple of tips for you to spiffy up your gallery. First, create a few folders to organize your images into like-categories. Second, only keep the images you are most proud of in your main gallery. Perhaps 2 to 3 images from each folder. This way, people will get a taste of all you have to offer and will be curious to see what is in your other folders.

Hi Tess,
Many thanks for your kind comments and for adding my work to your Favourites, much appreciated!
Yes, I'm enjoying practicing portraits in oil, which I've only been using since my short course a month ago!
I do enjoy sketching all those angels in pencil but I'm a bit rusty with colour pencil so I must practice!
I THINK I've correctly added to my dWATCH, in any case I'll visit your gallery regularly via your piece in my Favourites........
Thanks again, John.

It sounds like your new method is working out - I've got to get a bit more spontaneous again!
It really depends on my artistic whim (read: mood!) at the time!
I'll keep watching.......
