Site Name: New Zealand artist Ricahrd Robinson
Site description: I live and work in Ruakaka, which is in Northland, New Zealand. My paintings are a response to this beautiful area and the greater marvel that is New Zealand.
Editors comment: The most prolific artist I have ever had the fortune to come across. Richard's paintings are stunning. The artist uses light, tone and perspective to perfection, he has a unique way of applying his paint and for anyone who is learning how to paint this may be the artist to help you. Be warned you could spend a lot of time on his site, sites!

Site Name: Avart
Site description: Classic aircraft portrayed in oils - evocative nostalgic - a tribute to the bravery of pilots in dangerous skies.
Editors comment: Jeremy paints aircraft with absolute accuracy. It is just one of the things I noticed as I browsed through his site, another is that the artist pays a lot of attention to detail, he has to, as the subjects have to be 'right'. Take this painting here, the Typhoon pilot, Johnny Baldwin, claims his 5th victim on the 27th of August 1943, yes, Jeremy even gives us the full text description of the painting. That makes him unique I think and well deserving of some of your time. Go and enjoy the Harrier's, the Hurricane's and the one my father flew in, the Lancaster, and many, many more

Site Name: Landscape Artist Chris Chalk
Site description: Landscapes and Seascapes by West Wales Landscape Artist Chris Chalk - Original Paintings & Prints
Editors comment: Another painting where the artist 'brings together' land and water, he makes it look so easy and yet it really isn't. The composition of all of Chris's paintings show that he takes time to get it right, once his drawing is composed the work is halfway finished. You still have to paint it though, and Chris has no problem there. A first class artist and one I have no hesitation in recommending to you.

Site Name: The Artwork of John Walker
Site description: My aims are to provide a series of 'galleries', that visitors will hopefully enjoy, and to expose some of my artwork to the public. There are examples of my paintings, works in progress, and in some cases, my photographs.
Editors comment: This one of John's oils , I can see a distinct style that is evident in all of his oils, it is best described as 'rich' in both colour and tone. A strong palette is used quite gently in places, for example, the gentle cool blues in the sky, and barely noticeable but really important, the streaks of light colour in front of the beautifully painted main tree. This use of tonal balance give this painting added depth. A lovely painting.

Site Name: Teddy Rabida Online Art Gallery
Site description: a collection of contemporary oil paintings
Editors comment: This young man is about to study for his MSc Digital Media at the University of Hull in Scarborough. I hope he is accepted, why, he is a talent that's why. I think this young man has a future in art, his paintings are unique in every manner, his subject matter is almost anything he wants it to be, I think that is why he should hopefully succeed. This painting is reminiscent of the old masters, the detail in the drawing is exceptional, right down to the colour perspective it cannot be faulted. Go and see for yourself just what I mean., very good.

Site Name: Art by Michael O'Gorman
Site description: An official website displaying my creative works and methodology.
Editors comment: Well this artist's work is interesting, very interesting. I have nothing but admiration for any artist that can create work such as this. Michael uses a bold mixture of colour and inspiration, and somehow manages to combine these skills to produce work that leaves me spellbound. Where do I begin to do the artist justice, I don't know. What I will say is the main gallery of work is not apparent straight away, you need to click the link just above his e-mail address. If you enjoy art by a free spirit you will love this.

Site Name: Art of Steve Dent
Site description: Original Oil Paintings for sale - the work of Newquay based Artist Steve Dent.
Editors comment: Well look here, what a nostalgic era this recalls. Pelsall as well, a long story, but this painting of the station says it all. Steve, paints with such enthusiasm it shows in all of his work. The attention here to detail is impressive, the snow treatment is stunning it really is, the perspective is also faultless. The artist also paints native american indians, as far away from Pelsall as you could get, but heck they are good. This is one artist that you must, I use the word with care, must visit his site, you will be amazed at the content, I was. Excellent paintings from an outstanding artist.

Site Name: Paintings of London by Geoffrey Smith
Site description: Oil paintings of London, Venice, Provence, Cornwall and Yorkshire for sale and commissioned
Editors comment: 'Thames from Lambeth Bridge' here is one of Geoffrey's London paintings, it accurately represents all of the artists work. The houses of parliament is the perfect backdrop for the boats in the foreground, what isn't clear in my image is the perspective of the painting as a whole, it is complex. The artist mentions the wave patterns bringing a sense movement to the painting, they do, and they do it well. What you cannot see from my thumbnail is the complications of the waves, you really do need to see the full size image to appreciate the work involved in these. A confident painting by a confident artist and one I can fully recommend to you.
